Why do many consider Geoffrey Chaucer’s remarkable work The Canterbury Tales to be one of the truly foundational works of English literature? And what makes this collection of stories as fresh and relevant today as when it first appeared more than six centuries ago? Joseph Luzzi, the Asher B. Edelman Professor of Literature at Bard College, will guide participants through the complexities and major issues and themes of Chaucer’s work, with a focus on his genius for storytelling, capacity for psychological insight, and attentiveness to the social and cultural concerns that defined his medieval world.
