Disgrifiad cryno

This module offers students the opportunity to engage in a detailed examination of Geoffrey Chaucer’s most substantial works (The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde) before moving on to a comparative study of a series recent texts that use Chaucer’s work as a model (Lavinia Greenlaw, Patience Agbabi, Ali Smith and others). The module is motivated by a concern with the continuing relevance of Chaucer (and late medieval culture in general) for contemporary culture, exploring the importance of the cultural work of adaptation and medievalism.
