Schemel Forum Evening Course

Top Down? Chaucer and Medieval Governance in The Canterbury Tales

As we live through a presidential election campaign, we are more attentive to government
than usual, with questions about who rules, how, and with what effect. Chaucer’s tales give
us the opportunity to study such questions at a “safe” distance. They are also concerned with issues of governance -for individuals, families, organizations and countries. While Chaucer’s stories reflect his hierarchical medieval culture, the questions he raises still resonate.
