Chaucer: The Merchant's Tale and The Wife of Bath with Rachael Hodgson 

Chaucer

The lecture will focus on two works by English poet and writer, Geoffrey Chaucer.

This lecture will be delivered by Rachael Hodgson, whose primary focus is on works of the Middle Ages. Her broader interest are in the theorisation of figurative modes including metaphor, ekphrasis (a vivid description of a visual work of art) and personification in medieval texts.
