English Literature | Geoffrey Chaucer and The Canterbury Tales | English Literature Lessons

Geoffrey Chaucer is considered one of the Fathers of the English Language and Literature.
one of the reason is that he decided to write his masterpiece, The Canterbury Tales, in Middle English, but we can consider many other aspects that were completely innovative during the 14th century.
From a literary point of view, it's important to remember that Chaucer (after meeting Boccaccio and Petrarca in Italy) was the first writer who took Renaissance to England.
From a social point of view, he comoletely shattered the feudal hierarchical system, describing a new medieval England. His irony and his psychological study of the characters who embodied several social classes of the time, represent a proper satire of his world and an interesting mirror of society and of human nature

Thank you Madame for your wonderful dynamic approach to Language and history....

This was very helpful in approaching the Tales. I would love to see something on Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene.

Interessante lezione. Non sapevo che "feudal" si pronunciasse cosi'. Da notare al minuto 5:15 sec la schiena del suo cane emergere alla sua destra :) . Grazie ancora.

ciao, ho seguito le tue lezioni e sono veramente Volevo chiederti se è posibile avere delle dispense delle tu lezioni oppure se puoi consigliare un libro di letteratura inglese ben fatto. Grazie mille!

[blondeblossom]

Grazie di cuore, Sara. Ho una domanda circa la pronuncia di Edward. Sebbene io senta la E pronunciata a volte "i" e a volte "e", il dizionario usa la "e". Ma qual è quella corretta? C'è magari una differenza tra old e modern English? O American e British English?
