Our readings in Chaucer and several of his anonymous contemporaries will pay attention to the treatment of social, political, and legal developments in the fourteenth century. The selection from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales will concentrate especially on the contrast between belief and credulity in the religious and legal spheres, as well as on the representation of the relationship between Christianity and Judaism. Leaving the celebrated Tales, we will go on to read an unfinished love poem by Chaucer, Anelida and Arcite. The attitudes represented in these texts will be compared with those of anonymous religious and love poems of the period, as well as with the representation of Christian history in a selection of medieval plays. The main texts will consist of a Middle English edition of The Canterbury Tales (Penguin or Norton), as well as some xeroxed materials.

Course requirements: one midterm paper, one final exam.
