ENGL 301 - Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales Semester Offered: First Semester Full Course Credits: 4 credits Attribute: 4HU, WINT
Twenty-nine pilgrims set off down the road to Canterbury. To pass the time, they devise a storytelling contest. This is The Canterbury Tales: at once a great compilation of genres – from chivalric romance to bawdy farce to beast fable – and a sustained exploration of how stories work and how they function in society. It is about pleasure and interpretation, writers and readers, sex, chickens, and the meaning of life. Readings will be in Middle English. British, Pre-1700.
Enrollment Limit: 20 Instructor: J. Bryan
