So I'm teaching my favorite Chaucer class. I'd like to assemble a collection of electronic resources that my undergraduates might find useful. I've an inkling that it might even be helpful to a wider audience to maintain a kind Chaucer portal here at ITM. So, I ask for your help. Aside from the sparse list you find below, of what internet resources are you aware? Have you used any in your own class, and if so, to what effect?
JJC's sparse list:
- Larry Benson's Chaucer Home Page
- Chaucer MetaPage
- Alan Baragona's Chaucer Home Page
- Dan Kline's Electronic Chaucer Page (check out the clever URL)
- Jonathan Hsy's Chaucer Chronology and People, Places, and Politics
- Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog (new readers of ITM may not realize that this infamous anonymous blogger was once a guest here at ITM)
The Long Island U - CW Post campus special collections folks have put up digital images of the Ellesmere pilgrim illustrations. I think they're scanned from their copy of the ultra expensive color facsimile. Anyway, the site is here.
ReplyDeleteOne I use, and I recommend my students use, is the Chaucer Online Bibliography

Thanks very much for this post!
ReplyDeleteSome students might find recordings available for sale at the Chaucer Studio to be useful. The works demand to be read aloud.
The CS site is http://creativeworks.byu.edu/chaucer/Default.aspx
Thanks, everyone, these are great. Please keep them coming!

yep- every time I have a cup of coffee I send you more links - that 3 coffees in 24 hrs. Aversion therapy?
Thanks again Anonymous -- and thanks as well to your caffeine addiction!
