CONGRESS CANCELED Chaucer and His Contemporaries: Approaches to Teaching Ricardian Poetry

Medieval Institute, Western Michigan University

Description

This panel will focus on interactive ways to bring students close to the language, poetry, and context of the late-14th-century poetry written during the reign of Richard II. Proposing new ways to encourage close reading and engage with textual cruxes is critical in literature classrooms today, given the current temptation (and push) towards simplified and digital approaches to teaching.
