Bad Chaucer with Tison Pugh – The Medieval Podcast, Episode 264

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 on The Medieval Podcast, Danièle speaks with Tison Pugh about the good, the bad, and the downright ugly in Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales.

Tison Pugh is a professor of English at the University of Central Florida. His new book is Bad Chaucer: The Great Poet’s Greatest Mistakes.
