概述模块描述:
有时被称为“英国文学之父”的杰弗里·乔叟(生于1400年)是英国文学史上最伟大的革新者之一。 在这个模块中,我们将探索他最著名的作品《坎特伯雷故事集》。 这是一本种类繁多的故事集,从粗俗的喜剧到道德寓言,从辛辣的讽刺到悲剧爱情的叙述,应有尽有。 Each week we will explore a different text from The 坎特伯雷故事集 and delve into some of Chaucer's key themes, such as love, religion, gender, class, chivalry and magic. 该模块还将介绍对乔叟作品的主要文学和思想影响,并将他的叙述与同一时期的可比文本相比较。
目的:
This module aims to provide students with knowledge of a wide and representative selection of Chaucer's 坎特伯雷故事集, together with a small range of comparable narrative texts. 该课程旨在促进批判性阅读的策略,并向学生介绍叙事方法、声音、结构、体裁和受众等问题。 不需要事先了解中世纪英语,中世纪文学或历史。
可评估的学习成果:
By the end of the module it is expected that students will be able to:
• demonstrate an understanding of the Middle English texts they have studied
• identify and discuss a range of narrative forms and techniques
• exercise critical skills of detailed textual analysis
• engage critically with the ideas presented in lectures, seminars, or
secondary materials
• organize and articulate a coherent written argument, both in coursework essays
and under timed examination conditions.
额外的结果:
将发展口头和书面沟通技巧,包括实际的宣传,以及批判、解释、比较和分析能力。 学生亦会透过批判性地使用相关的网络资源,提高他们的资讯科技能力。
大纲内容:
The module introduces students to a representative selection of Chaucer's 坎特伯雷故事集, and also investigates some of the major literary and intellectual influences upon Chaucer's work. 本模块学习的典型故事涵盖了各种类型和主题。 'The General Prologue', which introduces the entire collection, is a vivid account of a motley group of pilgrims, including the author himself, as they gather at a London tavern before setting out on pilgrimage to Canterbury. In the course of their journey they entertain each other with stories. 'The Knight's Tale', the very first of these stories, is a tale of chivalric combat and tragic love set in the classical world. It is followed by 'The Miller's Tale', a bawdy comedy set in a medieval university town. Other texts typically studied on this module include the stories told by two of Chaucer's most famous creations, the Wife of Bath and the Pardoner. Works like the 'The Nun's Priest's Tale' combine vibrant comedy with serious reflection on the purpose of creating literature. We will also explore the riddle of Chaucer's 'Retraction' where the poet seems to express misgivings about his works. 研讨会将主要侧重于个人故事,并有机会由学生自行选择主题。
