- Description
- Assesses the emphases of four modern adaptations of CT: Brian Helgeland's 2001 movie "A Knight’s Tale" (focusing on Chaucer's character as a "PR" man); the 2011–12 Tacit Theatre touring drama "The Canterbury Tales" (bawdy comedy); Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1972 movie "I racconti di Canterbury" (bawdry and social criticism); and the collected stories "Refugee Tales" [I] (2016), edited by David Herd (the plight of refugees, especially in Dragan Todorovic's "The Migrant's Tale" and MLT). Includes recurrent attention to Chaucer as a "central figure" in the "creation of the English nation."
