Our goal will be to appreciate Chaucer?s language, his poetic innovations, the literary traditions within and against which he wrote, and the ideological tensions that defined the world in which he lived. Topics that will be emphasized in class discussions include Chaucer?s experiments with genre, characterization, and narrative voice; the lively debates he stages around gender and sexuality, power and social status, and the moral responsibilities of poets; and the complex interplay of courtly and intellectual ideologies that shapes his identity as a writer in fourteenth-century England. In addition to a research paper and a final examination, graded work will include short written responses to discussion questions and occasional quizzes and microthemes. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
