How can a literary character move from the page to our minds with such charisma that she ceases to be merely fiction? 乔叟最著名的角色, 巴斯的妻子, is the first in a long line of fictional female characters in British literature who have captured our hearts 和 minds 和 made us wonder: who are you? 玛丽昂·特纳的获奖作品 《巴斯的妻子:传记 seeks to answer that question by examining Chaucer’s star character over the course of 700 years, from the real medieval housewives 和 businesswomen who inspired her creation in the 14th century to her 21st century influences. 我们将阅读 《坎特伯雷故事集》 一起上课. 课外活动, 我们将阅读透纳的“娱乐性和启发性”, funny 和 provocative” biography 和 discuss the chapters in class over the five weeks. 多亏了特纳的书和我们的课堂讨论, students are sure to walk away with an inspired list of reading recommendations to take them into the summer!
