Reading Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Dr. Kenneth Eckert (taught in English). This is a reading course covering Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales [Die Canterbury-Erzählungen] (c. 1390) which will discuss selected tales, Chaucer’s time period, and the language of Middle English. The course will be taught via online Zoom meetings. The standard text for The Canterbury Tales is Benson’s The Riverside Chaucer, but interlinear (Middle and Present Day English) versions in print or online are fine. Please do not use a German language-only text.
