- Description
- An eclectic collection of materials related to new-media play that focuses on Chaucer, including the following: a faux poem by "John Gower"; an introduction, by Bonnie Wheeler, to play and parody among medievalists at the conferences of the Medieval Institute; Bryant's brief history of his blog, "Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog"; Jeffrey Jerome Cohen's description of the playful presence of medieval studies in the new media; and a "comic diary" by Robert W. Hanning of his own parodies, limericks, snipes, etc., written in playful response to academic seriousness. The bulk of the volume is an anthology of the "key 2006-2009 postings" from the Chaucer blog, slightly revised, plus a new expansion of an account of Chaucer's visit (with Richard II) to the United States.
