ENGL 90202 - Early Chaucer

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

If Chaucer had never written the Canterbury Tales, his claim upon our attention as one of the greatest poets ever writing in the English language would be secure based on the earlier works that will occupy us as readers/ writers/ discussants during this term: Book of the Duchess, House of Fame, Parliament of Fowls and the magnificent Troilus & Criseyde. Additionally we will certainly read some--or all--of the short poems that--along with Canterbury Tales (which we will not read)-- comprise the Chaucer canon. No prior experience with Middle English is required. Requirements: a midterm, a final, and a term paper. Text: Larry Benson's "The Riverside Chaucer" or any scholarly edition of the early poems named above.
