Below
you will find the twenty ID terms I’ve settled on, drawn from your lists and
mine. Twelve of the terms will appear on
the quiz, and you will be asked to identify eight
of them, providing both a brief definition and account of their relevance to
the study of Chaucer—no more than three or four sentences.
I’ll
set aside about 20 minutes of class time for the quiz; remember that it
accounts for (only) 5% of your final grade.
On Monday of next week we can spend a few minutes clearing up any
remaining mysteries about the terms.
