Description
"With his Miller's Tale Chaucer transformed a colorless Middle Dutch account into the lively, dramatic story of raunchy Nicholas, sexy Alison, foolish John and squeamish Absolon. This book focuses on the ways the narrative more effective through dialogue, scene division, music, visual effects and staging. The book's second half covers more than 30 of the tale's retellings"--
