Description:

Introduction to Geoffrey Chaucer's major poetry, with particular attention to The Canterbury Tales. Chaucer's language and versification are studied briefly but intensively so that students are able to read his 14th-century London dialect with comprehension and pleasure. Special critical attention is given to his narrative skills, methods of characterization, wide range of styles and forms, and other rhetorical strategies. Students are also encouraged to explore Chaucer's artistry as a reflection of late medieval social and cultural history.
