I have produced a video on Chaucer's General Prologue that might be of
interest. It uses location videography, music and language of the 14th
century in a discussion linking Chaucer's characterizations to the
pilgrimage motif and to notions of caritas and cupiditas. It is part of a
series of six video lectures that link authors and works to cultural
environments. The other tapes discuss John Donne's secular and religious
poems, Pope's "Rape of the Lock" in relation to Wren's Hampton Court,
Wordsworth's "Tintern Abbey" and the romantic landscape, and Jane Eyre
and its settings.
I can send out a descriptive brochure if you will let me have your
mailing address.
