In the event that you have time over Christmas break that you want to spend experiencing Chaucer, then look no further than this award winning series. Airing in the late 1990's, this stop-motion series captures the tales of Chaucer in visually entertaining episodes of around 30 minutes each, complete with the narration of our friend Chaucer Pilgrim. Although not completely loyal to the text, this miniseries captures the hilarity and bawdiness of the Canterbury Pilgrims and gives it new life through visual representation. I thought that it was highly entertaining, even though it wasn't that helpful for my paper.
There are three episodes available on YouTube. I've attached the first one. Enjoy.
