Next Friday, November 14th, join us at a lunchtime book-launch for PAUL STROHM’s CHAUCER’S TALE: 1386 AND THE ROAD TO CANTERBURY. Medievalist Penn professor DAVID WALLACE will be here with Paul to discuss that crucial year that led Chaucer to THE CANTERBURY TALES. Come and help us celebrate a book that Terry Jones has called “an imaginative re-creation of everything you ever wanted to know” about the Father of English Literature. RSVP now to [email protected] or call 215-746-POEM.
