Prologue to Chaucer, A
- 1986 ----- color ----- 28 min ----- vhs
- Greater understanding of Chaucer's poetry comes from knowledge about his life and the world in which he lived--the court, the people and their work, and the books he read. Period art is combined with location photography to retrace the April pilgrimage to Archbishop Becket's shrine in Canterbury. Excerpts are read from various of The Canterbury Tales and the famous beginning is given in Middle English.
