ReMixing Chaucer in a 21st-Century Undergraduate Classroom

Abstract

I am a medievalist who is interested in post-medieval afterlives of medieval texts. In this piece, I offer an imaginary conversation between myself and the texts that feature on a final-year Undergraduate Module that I teach in a UK university. The conversation is modelled on those that are regularly being had in the seminar rooms for this module, giving a sense of the various harmonies and counterpoints that arise when Chaucer is placed alongside adaptations of his work with a heterogeneous student cohort.
