- Description
- Outlines the basics of Middle English orthography and pronunciation, and Chaucer's vocabulary and literary models for students. Claims that learning to read Middle English, and understanding concepts of manuscript study, editing, and translation, enhance understanding of critical conversations about Chaucer. Focuses on analyzing Ros and the Clerk's portrait in GP to provide strategies for reading difficult passages, including examining syntactical patterns and reading aloud, and to reveal that Chaucer's iambics can convey a variety of emotions.
