May 24, 2024May 24, 2024 Discipline: Literature

*** I would appreciate a rough draft by 6/2***


Prompt:
Consider cases where “history” has been deformed as it is turned into “story,” into legend? To what do you attribute these deformations in the case or cases you examine?
Primary Source:
  • Geoffrey Chaucer, Prioress’ Prologue and Tale:

  • Geoffrey of Monmouth, The History of the Kings of Britain (sorry, I do not have a proper source)

Potential Thesis:

“The transformation of history into legend in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s The History of the Kings of Britain and Chaucer’s “Prioress’ Prologue and Tale” serves to construct national identity and reinforce social prejudices, revealing how historical narratives are manipulated to serve contemporary agendas.”
