Section Info:
Topic Section E: Twenty-First Century Chaucer The focus of this seminar will not be a particular theme, approach, or set of Chaucerian texts but rather the scholarship on Chaucer published since 2000 (with allowance for continuing trends that first emerged during the 1990s). We will first orient ourselves by reading and discussing several published overviews of the field. Due to the amount of publication on Chaucer, such overviews have come to constitute an important scholarly genre in their own right. Using criteria derived from this metascholarship, in combination with the individual's own critical and theoretical predilections, each member of the seminar will identify a coherent body of Chaucer scholarship to survey in greater detail and present to the seminar (with a limited number of assigned readings). The other major work for the seminar will be a research paper (20-25 pages) on a Chaucerian topic of the student's choice. In form, this paper should resemble an original article suitable for publication in a scholarly journal. There is no requirement that the paper belong to the specific subfield of scholarship previously surveyed by its author.
