English studies is an academic discipline that includes the study ofliteratures written in the English language (including literatures from the U.K., U.S., Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, the Philippines, India, South Africa, and the Middle East, among other areas), English linguistics (including English phonetics, phonology, syntax, morphology, semantics, pragmatics, corpus linguistics, and stylistics), and English sociolinguistics (including discourse analysis of written and spoken texts in the English language, the history of the English language, English language learning and teaching, and the study of World Englishes).More broadly, English studies explores the production and analysis of texts produced in English (or in areas of the world in which English is a common mode of communication). It is not uncommon for academic departments of "English" or "English Studies" to include scholars of the English language, literature (including literary criticism and literary theory), linguistics, law, journalism, composition studies, the philosophy of language, literacy, publishing/history of the book, communication studies, technical communication, folklore, cultural studies, creative writing, critical theory, disability studies, area studies (especially American studies), theatre, gender studies/ethnic studies, digital media/electronic publishing, film studies/media studies, rhetoric and philology/etymology, and various courses in the liberal arts and humanities, among others.In most English-speaking countries, the literary and cultural dimensions of English studies are typically practiced in university departments of English, while the study of texts produced in non-English languages takes place in other departments, such as departments of foreign language or comparative literature. English linguistics is often studied in separate departments of linguistics. This disciplinary divide between a dominant linguistic or a literary orientation is one motivation for the division of the North American Modern Language Association (MLA) into two subgroups. At universities in non-English-speaking countries, the same department often covers all aspects of English studies including linguistics: this is reflected, for example, in the structure and activities of the European Society for the Study of English (ESSE).
Geoffrey Chaucer was a prominent English poet, writer, and diplomat in the 14th century. He is best known for his seminal work, "The Canterbury Tales," which provides a vivid depiction of English society during his time. Chaucer's literary contributions helped shape the development of English literature.
Chaucer did not write a ballad of gentleness. However, he did write "The Canterbury Tales," a collection of stories in medieval English society.
Chaucer wrote the Canterbury Tales in English to make his work more accessible to a broader audience, as English was becoming more widely used and understood in England at that time. Writing in English also allowed Chaucer to capture the diversity of English society in his characters and stories, adding depth and richness to his narrative.
Chaucer departed from traditional medieval literature by incorporating elements of realistic characterization, social critique, and vivid detail in his works. He often portrayed diverse characters from different social classes and backgrounds, offering a more complex and nuanced view of society than was common in his time. Additionally, Chaucer's use of vernacular Middle English instead of Latin or French marked a departure from the literary norms of his era.
Canterbury Tales is an English literary classic. There are many theories as to why the Canterbury Tales were written. Among these is the idea that he wanted people to get some insight into British society.
Chaucer uses the form of the Canterbury Tales, a collection of stories narrated by a diverse group of pilgrims on their journey to Canterbury. Through this frame narrative, Chaucer is able to offer a panoramic view of English society, showcasing the values, vices, and complexities of various social classes in medieval England.
