EGL 205 - The Road to CanterburyCourse Units: 1
(Not offered in 2015-16) Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales plays with intriguing questions: How does the meaning of a particular story change as it passes from one literary or historical context to another? Where does narrative voice end and authorial intent begin – especially in social satire? Who determines the meaning of a text: the writer, the speaker, or the audience? Our course will delve into these questions as Chaucer explores them, through the refined wit, sly backbiting, slapstick humor, cosmic irony, and romantic drama of the pilgrims’ storytelling contest.
