- Description
- Students of Chaucer's poetry can easily appreciate its sounds and syntactical patterns, and should examine for themselves issues such as the pronunciation of final -e. Prosodic analysis can also be applied to translated versions of Chaucer. Live performances and recordings as well as attentive readings can help to replicate the Chaucerian "soundscape."
