EN 342 - special Studies in Chaucer

Institution:

Skidmore College

Subject:

Description:

Chaucer's dream visions and The Canterbury Tales ( ca. 1370-1400). The social, economic, religious, and literary background of the High Middle Ages will clarify the satiric aspects of individual tales. Chaucer's innovative handling of the conventions of frame and link-between-tales leads to speculation about the structure of the fragment as a competitive sequence and about the formal correlatives to a justice if not judicial at least poetic.
