- Description
- Describes the dramatic adaptations of selections from CT presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company in November 2005, exploring how the adaptations and their staging at times modify and at times convey the "key elements" of Chaucer's work, particularly his vitality, "human compassion," generic variety, and concern with the "transience" of earthly existence.
