Chaucer wrote in a time of great political and social unrest
and linguistic instability, when the status and meaning of
secular literature in English was uncertain. This course
examines how he fashioned vernacular poetry by reconfiguring
traditional images and issues to give them meaning and value
within his culture.

THE CANTERBURY TALES
HOUSE OF FAME
Shorter readings charting Chaucer's critical fortunes in the
centuries after his death.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Several quizzes, two short
papers and one longer (8-10 pp.) paper.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS

toward the English Department's historical knowledge and
