Podcasts about The Canterbury Tales

Though J. R. R. Tolkien translated portions of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, he did not live to complete the project. Fortunately another Inkling, Nevill Coghill, succeeded where Tolkien could not, and produced the modernized verse-rendering that today's selection comes from. Happy reading! This is a public episode.

Jo Harkin discusses with Ivan six things which should be better known. Jo Harkin studied literature at university. She daydreamed her way through various jobs in her twenties before becoming a full-time writer. Her debut novel Tell Me an Ending was a New York Times book of the year. Her new novel is The Pretender, which is available at https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-pretender/jo-harkin/9781526678348. She lives in Berkshire, England. The ruin of Minster Lovell. This was the estate of the Viscount Lovell, one of the main characters in The Pretender. It's got enough standing walls and a beautiful vaulted entryway to allow you to imagine life there, but also the setting is stunning. Alice Chaucer's tomb, and the concept of the Memento Mori. An hour away from Minster Lovell, in Oxfordshire, are the former lands of the Earl of Lincoln, another main character in the novel. In the pretty village of Ewelme, St Mary's church contains the tomb of Alice Chaucer – grand-daughter of the poet himself, and the grandmother of Lincoln. The Fabliaux. A modern English verse translation of medieval French Fabliaux. These were stories told across all levels of medieval society. And they were absolutely filthy. Food/drink suggestion. A recipe for an overlooked and delicious medieval dish – the pre-potato pea pottage. Exhibition. The British Library Treasures room has a permanent display of original books, maps and manuscripts, including medieval and Tudor era items such as pages from Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks, Beowulf, and the first printing of the Canterbury Tales. Misericords. Westminster Abbey is on every London tourist's must see list, but often-overlooked feature are the misericords. In the magnificent Henry VII's chapel, where his and Elizabeth of York's tombs are located, the original 16th century hinged oak seats were not visible to the general public.

For over six centuries, Chaucer has epitomized poetic greatness, though more recent treatments of The Canterbury Tales' lively and often risqué style have made his name more synonymous with bawdy humor. But beyond his poetic achievements, Chaucer assumed various roles including those of royal attendant, soldier, customs official, justice of the peace, and more. In this book, Mary Flannery chronicles Chaucer's life during one of the most turbulent periods of English history, illuminating how he came to be known not only as the father of English poetry but also as England's “merry bard.” Mary Flannery is the Swiss National Science Foundation Eccellenza Professorial Fellow at the University of Bern. A regular contributor to the Times Literary Supplement, her publications include Practising Shame: Female Honour in Later Medieval England. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Continuing through Pasolini's Trilogy of Life this week we have The Canterbury Tales (1972). Pasolini's adaptation of a a foundational English text includes many naked and British people, including Tom Baker. While the film's epilogue changes the book to make these tales "told only for the pleasure of telling", Pasolini's celebration of pre-consumerism sex comes with a certain growing darkness. We'll talk more on that next week, but for now let's enjoy medieval Charlie Chaplin.

Welcome to today's Smithsonian Associates Interview Series episode here on The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast.  Where we journey back to the 12th century, a time when power, faith, and politics collided in a deadly struggle that changed the course of history. On December 20, 1170, the hallowed halls of Canterbury Cathedral bore witness to one of the most shocking and notorious murders of the Middle Ages. Archbishop Thomas Becket was brutally slain by four knights of King Henry II—a death that reverberated far beyond the walls of the cathedral and into the heart of medieval Europe. But who was Thomas Becket, and why did his life—and death—provoke such controversy? Once a trusted confidant of King Henry II, Becket was handpicked for the role of Archbishop of Canterbury, a move the king believed would solidify royal control over the church. Instead, Becket became an unwavering defender of ecclesiastical independence, defying the king at every turn. Their friendship turned to enmity, their alliance to discord, and their rivalry set the stage for one of history's most infamous political disputes. Today, we have the privilege of welcoming Smithsonian Associate Dr. Jennifer Paxton, a distinguished historian, professor, and expert in medieval history, to delve into this riveting tale. Dr. Paxton will be presenting at Smithsonian Associates coming up, so please check our show notes for more details on her presentation titled, ‘The Murder of Thomas Becket.'' She'll guide us through the personal and political reasons behind Becket's downfall, the unintended consequences of his murder—including the rise of his sainthood and the spread of his cult—and how this tragedy sparked a legacy immortalized in literature, art, and drama. From the cultural significance of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales to the political resonance of Jean Anouilh's 20th-century play, Becket's story has transcended time and borders, continuing to captivate and inspire. Prepare to explore a tale of loyalty and betrayal, of the sacred versus the secular, and of a man whose violent death transformed him into one of the most celebrated saints of the medieval world. So, sit back and join us as we unravel the fascinating, tragic, and enduring story of Thomas Becket—martyr, saint, and a lightning rod for the ages. My thanks to Smithsonian Associate Dr. Jennifer Paxton.  Dr. Paxton will be presenting at Smithsonian Associates coming up, so please check our show notes for more details on her presentation titled, ‘The Murder of Thomas Becket.''

Monstrous Fantasies: England's Crusading Imaginary and the Romance of Recovery, 1300-1500 (Cornell University Press, 2024) by Dr. Leila Norako asks why medieval romances reimagining the crusades ending in a Christian victory circulated in England with such abundance after the 1291 Muslim reconquest of Acre, the last of the Latin crusader states in the Holy Land, and what these texts reveal about the cultural anxieties of late medieval England. Dr. Norako highlights the impact that the Ottoman victory and subsequent massacre of Christian prisoners at the battle of Nicopolis in 1396 had on intensifying the popularity of what she calls recovery romance. These two episodes inspired a sense of urgency over the fate of the Holy Land and of Latin Christendom itself, resulting in the proliferation of romances in which crusading English kings like Richard I and anachronistic legends like King Arthur not only reconquered Jerusalem but committed genocidal violence against the Muslims. These romances, which—as Norako argues—also influenced Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, conjure fantasies of an ascendant global Christendom by rehearsing acts of conquest and cultural annihilation that were impossible to realize in the late Middle Ages. Emphasizing the tension in these texts between nostalgia and anticipation that fuels their narrative momentum, Monstrous Fantasies also explores how the cultural desires for European and Christian hegemony that recovery romances versified were revived in the wake of the so-called wars on terror in the twenty-first century in such films as Kingdom of Heaven and American Sniper. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Dr. Norako highlights the impact that the Ottoman victory and subsequent massacre of Christian prisoners at the battle of Nicopolis in 1396 had on intensifying the popularity of what she calls recovery romance. These two episodes inspired a sense of urgency over the fate of the Holy Land and of Latin Christendom itself, resulting in the proliferation of romances in which crusading English kings like Richard I and anachronistic legends like King Arthur not only reconquered Jerusalem but committed genocidal violence against the Muslims. These romances, which—as Norako argues—also influenced Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, conjure fantasies of an ascendant global Christendom by rehearsing acts of conquest and cultural annihilation that were impossible to realize in the late Middle Ages. Emphasizing the tension in these texts between nostalgia and anticipation that fuels their narrative momentum, Monstrous Fantasies also explores how the cultural desires for European and Christian hegemony that recovery romances versified were revived in the wake of the so-called wars on terror in the twenty-first century in such films as Kingdom of Heaven and American Sniper. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

When it comes to classics of literature, it can feel like there's a lot of pressure to nod along with the crowd and say that some authors are just brilliant, full stop. But sometimes even great literature isn't so great. This week, Danièle speaks with Tison Pugh about the good, the bad, and the downright ugly in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales.You can support this podcast on Patreon.

It's Monday, October 21st, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus British University issued “trigger warning” about reading Chaucer The University of Nottingham in England has issued a “trigger warning” to students studying various medieval literature, in part because of Christian themes in the texts, reports International Christian Concern. The Daily Mail on Sunday discovered the warning through a Freedom of Information Act request. The British university warned students that the course “Chaucer and His Contemporaries” contained issues of “violence, mental illness, and expressions of Christian faith.” Geoffrey Chaucer, most widely known for writing The Canterbury Tales, was a 14th-century English author and poet whose influence on English literature is on par with William Shakespeare. Chaucer, a Christian, is referred to by some as “the father of English poetry” and is said to have influenced C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. The warning seems close to censoring Christian voices altogether. 1 Corinthians 15:58 says, “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” Kamala: First presidential candidate to skip Catholic fundraiser in 40 years Former President Donald Trump was the only presidential candidate to appear at the prestigious 79th annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in Manhattan on Thursday, reports The Christian Post. Vice President Kamala Harris was repeatedly criticized during the event for being the first presidential candidate in 40 years to skip the dinner, which has been a staple of presidential campaigns for decades. She appeared instead in a pre-recorded video, which was not well-received by the audience. Comedian and emcee Jim Gaffigan, who is Catholic, offered scathing jokes against Harris and the Democratic Party, reports the New York Post. GAFFIGAN:  "You know, this event has been referred to as the Catholic Met Gala. Twenty-two percent of Americans identify as Catholic. Catholics will be a key demographic in every battleground state. I'm sorry, why is Vice President Harris not here?” (cheers, laughter) Gaffigan also mocked Democrats for calling Trump an existential threat to democracy despite ousting their own incumbent president without input from voters. GAFFIGAN:  "The Democrats have been telling us Trump's re-election is a threat to democracy. In fact, they were so concerned of this threat, they staged a coup, ousted their democratically elected incumbent, and installed Kamala Harris." Trump roasted Chuck Schumer and Tim Walz for leftist lunacy Trump roasted New York Senator Chuck Schumer and the Woke party that he represents which has embraced this unbiblical notion that a person can change his or her gender. TRUMP: “Chuck Schumer is here looking very glum. But look on the bright side, Chuck, considering how ‘woke' your party has become, if Kamala loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president.” (laughter, cheers) Trump poked fun at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for lying when he claimed that he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989 when, in actuality, in Nebraska at the time. TRUMP: "Unfortunately Governor Walz isn't here himself, but don't worry, he'll say that he was.” By 2030, 16 million kids will exit public schools The current mass exodus from public schools suggests that only half of American students will attend them in 2030, according to a report entitled “The Future of K-12 Education. The Learning Counsel, an education research institute, said it expects the number of children in public schools to drop by 16 million over the next six years, leaving just 50.26% of students enrolled. Almost a third of American students will likely be homeschooled, reports The Liberty Sentinel. Drivers of this trend will include distrust of government, school choice legislation, and parental anger with sexually explicit indoctrination. How to finish global evangelization by 2030 And finally, too many believers do not have a sense of urgency to evangelize the lost. Dr. James Davis, the founder of the Global Church Network, explained to me how many people die every day worldwide without faith in Jesus Christ. DAVIS: “If we could imagine 132 plane crashes, which makes up 66,000 deaths, that's how many people die [each day], lost without Jesus Christ. And yet there's not a sense of urgency among some to do anything about it. There must be a paradigm shift that creates a sense of strategic urgency to evangelize, make disciples, plant churches, and help finish the Great Commission.” The Global Church Network has a vision to see the world evangelized by the year 2030.  Their website is www.Finish2030.com. DAVIS: “In 2015, at the graveside of Martin Luther at Castle Church, the Global Church Network, with distinguished leaders around the globe, set an ambitious and strategic goal to help complete the Great Commission by the 2000-year birthday of the church. That would be June 9, 10, and 11 in 2030 in Jerusalem at the International Convention Center. “On that day, we're inviting more than 3,000 distinguished leaders from around the world to convene at the convention center and honor the first 3,000 that came to Christ 2,000 years ago when Peter preached that very first sermon. This is why we call it Finish2030, the celebration of the 2000- year birthday of the church.” Dr. Davis explained that we need to move on from the paradigm of the West sharing the Gospel with the rest. DAVIS: “Over the last 200 years, North America has sent tens of thousands of missionaries from around the world, and we praise the Lord for that, but the church has grown up all over the world. The strongest churches in all of the world do not reside here in the United States of North America, or in particular, even in Europe. “No longer the West going to the rest, but the best around the world going to the rest of the world. We're moving from a mission field to mission force, from parenting to partnering, from not networking to networking.” The key to the strategy of the Global Church Network is creating global Christian hubs of influence worldwide. DAVIS: “Currently, there's more than 200 hubs in the Global Church Network. We call this the global hubs of Christianity. By 2030, we will have more than 800 hubs in the network. “Every hub does at least three things. Some do four. We all synergize the best relationships, tie those relational knots, face to face, in local churches. We systematize the very best training, and we strategize for unreached peoples. No one knows the neighborhood like the neighbors. In some hubs, we also Scripturalize new Bible translations for unreached peoples. “So, we want to strategically place those hubs around the world to help us get closer and closer to the unreached, so that we can finish the Great Commission.” In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus said, “All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Me.  Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 21st, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Townhall Review - October 19, 2024 In this week's episode of Townhall Review, host Hugh Hewitt dives into the fast-approaching 2024 election.  Charlie Kirk and Trump's political director, James Blair, discuss the importance of voter turnout, emphasizing that success hinges on getting the right numbers at the polls. Bob Frantz and Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan point out how the strategy of allowing non-citizens to vote is spreading across the country. As the election nears, Hugh touches on the growing phenomenon of “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” which Matt Continetti describes as reaching new heights of intensity. Continetti shares his insights during a teaser clip from Hugh's full hour-long interview. Victor Davis Hanson talks about the Left's efforts to offend autoworkers, minorities, Catholics and more, demographics where the GOP has historically been weak are looking quite strong. Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson talk with Danial Mahony of Assumption University about the left's increasing repudiation of Western values, illustrated by recent events such as Nottingham University's decision to issue a trigger warning on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.  Dennis Prager reflects on the stark differences between Europe's changing immigration policies and the United States', highlighting the growing divide between public sentiment and political action on immigration.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this elegantly written study Rival Wisdoms: Reading Proverbs in the Canterbury Tales (Penn State University Press, 2024), Dr. Nancy Mason Bradbury situates Chaucer's last and most ambitious work in the context of a zeal for proverbs that was still rising in his day. Rival Wisdoms demonstrates that for Chaucer's contemporaries, these tiny embedded microgenres could be potent, disruptive, and sometimes even incendiary. In order to understand Chaucer's use of proverbs and their reception by premodern readers, we must set aside post-Romantic prejudices against such sayings as prosaic and unoriginal. The premodern focus on proverbs conditioned the literary culture that produced the Canterbury Tales and helped shape its audience's reading practices. Aided by Thomas Speght's notations in his 1602 edition, Dr. Bradbury shows that Chaucer acknowledges the power of the proverb, reflecting on its capacity for harm as well as for good and on its potential to expand and deepen—but also to regulate and constrict—the meanings of stories. Far from banishing proverbs as incompatible with the highest reaches of poetry, Chaucer places them at the center of the liberating interpretive possibilities the Canterbury Tales extends to its readers. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Geoffrey Chaucer stands as a founding father of English literature, and ‘The Canterbury Tales' is an enthralling account of his age, holding a mirror up to the traditional hierarchies of 14th century England. Chaucer's own life was spent navigating the rapids of a particularly tumultuous period, from fighting in the Hundred Years' War alongside Edward III, to working for the infamous John of Gaunt, becoming embroiled in London politics, and surviving the gruesome Black Death. Chaucer even lived through the explosive Peasants' Revolt, during which his own life hung in the balance… Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss the turbulent life and seminal work of Geoffrey Chaucer, a titan of English history and trailblazer of social change. *The Rest Is History LIVE in 2024* Tom and Dominic are back onstage this summer, at Hampton Court Palace in London!  Buy your tickets here: therestishistory.com Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.
