Description

Geoffrey Chaucer in Kent. The poet and performer Patience Agbabi, author of Telling Tales (2014), makes a pilgrimage from Southwark to Canterbury with Henry. They discuss The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer as they travel by train, stopping off at Dartford and Rochester, covering Chaucer’s life and times, poetry and pilgrims, including the Knight, the Miller, the Wife of Bath and the Pardoner. In Canterbury they meet David Herd, co-founder of Refugee Tales, an annual public walk that raises awareness around indefinite immigration detention.Penguin Classics editions of The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucerhttps://www.penguin.co.uk/books/33721/the-canterbury-tales/9780140422344.htmlhttps://www.penguin.co.uk/books/33858/the-canterbury-tales/9780140424386.htmlAudiobook: https://books.apple.com/gb/audiobook/the-canterbury-tales/id1480679536?itsct=books_toolbox&itscg=30200&ct=audio-books_the_canterbury_tales&ls=1Ebook: https://books.apple.com/gb/book/the-canterbury-tales/id374504153?itsct=books_toolbox&itscg=30200&ct=books_the_canterbury_tales&ls=1Patience Agbabihttps://twitter.com/patienceagbabiTelling Tales by Patience Agbabihttps://canongate.co.uk/books/2125-telling-tales/Refugee Taleshttps://www.refugeetales.org/https://commapress.co.uk/books/refugee-talesDavid Herdhttps://www.kent.ac.uk/english/people/91/www.kent.ac.uk/english/people/91/herd-david Hosted on Acast.
