No questions for Friday, but be sure to read "The Miller's Tale" which is a direct, if audacious, response to The Knight's Tale. I promise you'll find this story amusing (even if you didn't find The Knight's Tale so), if you don't mind a little off-color humor. We'll do an in-class response to this story which will serve as your blog response, so be sure to come--even if it is Friday!
For those enterprising enough to check the blog, here's a link to Caxton's Chaucer, the original version of The Canterbury Tales. You can choose any tale and read the actual manuscript now in the British Library. You might not be able to read it without squinting, but you'll get a sense of the artistry that went into preserving and illustrating a classic text.
