Description
Review article evaluating Chaucerian videotapes distributed by Films for the Humanities and tape cassettes of the Chaucer Studio produced subsequent to Betsy Bowden's guide to recorded Middle English (Garland, 1988). Ford Madox Brown's painting "Chaucer at King Edward's Castle" is an "allegory of imagining Chaucer's voice." Despite objections by critics such as Michael Murphy, "communities of readers...can still achieve a modest authenticity."
