Contributors to this volume address the question of why Chaucer is so rarely adapted to the screen, and then turn to the occasional, often awkward, attempts to adapt his narratives, including such works as Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's lyrical \u003ci\u003eA Canterbury Tale\u003c\/i\u003e (1944), Pier Paolo Pasolini's still-controversial \u003ci\u003eI racconti di Canterbury (\u003c\/i\u003e1972), Bud Lee's soft-core \u003ci\u003eThe Ribald Tales of Canterbury\u003c\/i\u003e (1985), Brian Helgeland's \u003ci\u003eA Knight's Tale (2001), \u003c\/i\u003e and BBC television productions, among others\u003ci\u003e. Chaucer on Screen\u003c\/i\u003e aims to rethink some of the premises of adaptation studies and to erase the ideological lines between textual sources and visual reimaginings in the certainty that many pleasures, scholarly and otherwise, can found in multiple media across disparate eras.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKathleen Coyne Kelly is Professor of English at Northeastern University.
