Description
Offers multiple examples of ways to play with the scansion of Chaucer's verse as means to engage student interest, nuanced readings, and enjoyment. Examples include scenes of awakening, bird-talk in HF and NPT, and wedding celebration in MLT and WBT, with attention to monosyllabic variations and sentence length, as well as personal preference.
