But in the past thirty years, Chaucer scholarship has evolved dramatically, teaching styles have changed, and new technologies have created extraordinary opportunities for studying Chaucer. This second edition of \u003ci\u003eApproaches to Teaching Chaucer's\u003c\/i\u003e Canterbury Tales reflects the wide variety of contexts in which students encounter the poem and the diversity of perspectives and methods instructors bring to it. Perennial topics such as class, medieval marriage, genre, and tale order rub shoulders with considerations of violence, postcoloniality, masculinities, race, and food in the tales.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first section, \"Materials,\" reviews available editions, scholarship, and audiovisual and electronic resources for studying \u003ci\u003eThe Canterbury Tales\u003c\/i\u003e.
