English

Prerequisite: Three credits in 200-level English. This course introduces students to Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and to the literary culture of the late-14th century. We read The Canterbury Tales as well as occasional offerings from Chaucer’s contemporaries in order to explore concerns such as gender roles, genre play, and class consciousness.
