No questions for Wednesday, 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 make it back after Labor Day! ALSO: if you missed class on Friday, check the post below for information about Exam #1, due in 2 weeks.
For those who need something to do over the three-day weekend, 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.
