'Canterbury Tales' to be featured at EIU



CHARLESTON — Lovers of great books are invited to the 2008 EIU Literature Conference, featuring Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales.”

The conference, sponsored in part by the Illinois Humanities Council, is scheduled for Thursday and Friday in the Martin Luther King Jr, University Union at Eastern Illinois University.

The program will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday with “Pilgrimage to Canterbury’s Cathedral,” a lecture-slide show by Janet Marquardt, followed at 8 p.m. by “The Pardoner’s Tale,” a dramatic reading, and “Reading Chaucer Aloud,” a presentation-discussion, both by David Raybin.

Friday’s activities will begin at 9 a.m. with “The Nun’s Priest’s Tale,” a dramatic reading by Kathy Lavezzo, Francine McGregor, David Raybin and Tim Shonk. At 10 a.m., Kathy Lavezzo of the University of Iowa will present a lecture, “Chaucerian Geographies.”

All events are free and open to the public. For further information, call the EIU School of Continuing Education at 581-5116, or Professor Raybin at 581-6980.
