Proseminar
PS-Medieval English Literatures: The Canterbury Tales
Wolfram Keller
Comments
This seminar shall introduce students to one of Geoffrey Chaucer’s most well-known works, his Canterbury Tales. A few introductory sessions will be devoted to questions concerning periodization and the ‘literariness' of medieval literature. Next, we shall turn to Chaucer as a medieval author and to the genre of frame-tale narratives. During the remainder of the semester, we shall read several tales, including the General Prologue, the Miller’s Tale, the Clerk’s Tale, and the Wife of Bath’s Tale. A detailed reading list will be available at the beginning of the semester.
