Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales
This is a winter series exploring Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, a lively, occasionally bawdy look at a group of pilgrims in 14th century England. What did “pilgrimage” mean? To what extent do the tales they tell critique the medieval church? Is Chaucer a Lollard reformer, or just a social satirist? The stories will come alive as we read them aloud. Because of the episodic nature of the poem, you don’t have to attend every class to enjoy the experience. Text: Nevill Coghill’s translation (Penguin Classics paperback).
