Chaucer, ENL 4311, 3 credits
R. A. Shoaf

The course is designed to familiarize students with the major poetry of Chaucer in its historical context (Troilus and Criseyde and the Canterbury Tales) and to introduce them to the principal methodological issues at stake in the modern study of Chaucer — especially the question of sources, the problem of "translation," the nature of allusion, the study of medieval attitudes toward gender, and the status of metaphoric discourse in late medieval poetry. Attention will also be paid to Middle English as a language, and some effort will be devoted to "performing" Chaucer aloud.
