Class Details

Composed in the last decades of the fourteenth century, The Canterbury Tales is a brilliant pastiche of competing forms. Saints’ lives, dirty stories, tales of revenge, sermons, fart jokes–they are all in the mix. We will read the Tales in the original Middle English, which is easier (and more fun) than it looks; no prior exposure to Middle English is necessary.
