Abstract
Fanfiction offers a rich and accessible framework for teaching on topics of adaptation and reception in medieval literature. This article outlines a course that teaches the reception history of two canonical medieval texts—the Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight—through fanfiction, with a detailed example of a text taught in this course, a 2008 fanfiction short story which reimagines the Wife of Bath as a fanfiction writer.
