Description
Seventeen essays that explore representation of Chaucer and CT on film and television, with recurrent attention to the limited number and scope of such adaptations. The introduction by the editors, "Chaucer on Screen," (pp. 1-16) comments on relations between source study and adaptation study, particularly page-to-screen remediations of Chaucer's works; it also summarizes each of the essays. The volume includes a foreword by Terry Jones, a bibliography, and an index. For individual essays search for Chaucer on Screen under Alternative Title.
