Courtesy of Alec, here's this week's site of the week: Rappin' Chaucer. This site certainly has a tone of oddity to it but I actually think it's also pedagogically very interesting. Check out this translation of the Pardoner's Tale. . There are also some neat audio and video clips available. Runner up to the Rappin' Chaucer was "Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog," Peter's reply to the site Alec sent around. "Were you aware of Geoffrey Chaucer's recent discovery of the lyrics to 'Borne to Waxen Woode'? It's starts thus:
Maketh motor for to runne
Shoopen vs to to heigh-waye
No aventure shal we shunne
In what-evir cometh ower waye
Ah, Chaucer, who knew he could be so much fun? Certainly I did not as a toted my 9 lb Chaucer text around for 2 semesters.
