Of Sondry Folk: The Canterbury Pilgrimage as Metaphor for Teaching Chaucer at the Community College

Published
Exemplaria 8 (1996): 473-77.

Description
Like Chaucer's pilgrimage, community colleges accept all comers and promise a miraculous transformation of a clientele representing a cross-section of society. The student-pilgrims prefer the spoken to the written word, requiring frequent reading aloud and dramatization, with leadership by a professor-host who exhibits a Chaucerian mixture of humor and patience.
