Stories, Story-Tellers, and Audiences: Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Marguerite of Navarre's Heptameron
Primary tabs
How is a story constructed? Using a model derived from linguistics and applied to narrative, we will explore both this question and the art of narrative. For most of the semester, we will be the audience of stories from Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Marguerite of Navarre's Heptameron, but, at the end of the semester, you will be a story-teller and a part of the audience for your fellow students' stories. This tutorial will especially develop your ability to take part in class discussions and to write arguments.
