EL 312 - Chaucer

Institution:

Saint Vincent College

Subject:

Description:

The life and representative works of Geoffrey Chaucer are the subjects of this upper-level course. Our main concentration will be on his Canterbury Tales, with selections from some of Chaucer's other poetry; we will also examine the Middle English and Continental traditions that influenced it. We will read Chaucer's works in Middle English and spend some time studying its structure and pronunciation; part of the grade, in fact, will be based on students' ability to read and interpret the Middle English of Chaucer. A midterm, a final exam, a major paper, an oral report, some quizzes and short assignments, and class participation comprise the remainder of the grade. Three credits.
