- Description
- Comments on twenty-first century adaptations of CT on stage and screen, in rap performance, and in imitative fiction, e.g., Peter Ackroyd's ""Clerkenwell Tales," Baba Brinkman's "Rap Canterbury Tales," RSC and BBC productions, David Dabydeen's "The Intended," and Marilyn Nelson's "The Cachoeira Tales." These and other renditions reflect the adaptability of CT to new, global places and spaces. Nelson's version, in particular, successfully re-imagines Chaucer's idea of cultural fellowship.
