A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'[A] welcome reminder of language's delight in itself and its ability to communicate that enchantment.' -The Guardian
 
'There is a tendency to assume that anything that happened in history is not funny. Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog performs the vital service of showing that the Middle Ages can be fun, and, as a side effect, reminding us that people were as capable of laughing in the 14th century as we are today...maybe more so.' - Terry Jones, Actor and Comedian

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog presents all of the most memorable posts of the medievalist internet phenomenon "Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog," along with essays on the genesis of the blog itself, the role of blogs in medieval scholarship, and the unique pleasures of studying a time period full of plagues, schisms, and assizes. In addition, new material explores connections between Chaucer's literary and historical background and the obsessions of contemporary popular culture. Le Vostre GC and eminent medievalists Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, Bob Hanning, and Bonnie Wheeler draw new conclusions on the ways medieval studies are perceived, the connection between the past and the present, and the historical roots of popular culture.
