Other than a brief ill-fated encounter with The Canterbury Tales at uni about 25 years ago, I am almost completely new to Chaucer. Thank you for putting together this reading challenge, John. (I'm rather over-committed over the coming month or so, but will try to tune in when I can! My Norton Chaucer is on its way!)

Yes. There will be a few premium pieces, but the main posts will be free.

Splurged on a copy of The Norton Chaucer to celebrate the start of a second year of following along with Personal Canon Formation. Thank you for continuing to encourage and challenge your Substack fans!
