Join ASU Library Special Collections for an overview of their Chaucer holdings as part of ASU's Eighth Biennial Chaucer Celebration.

ASU has a trove of early printed editions of Geoffrey Chaucer’s texts, which you'll have an opportunity to examine personally after a short presentation.

The Chaucer Celebration at ASU commemorates the life and work of medieval author Geoffrey Chaucer with events such as film festivals, concerts, performances, and academic discussions. The 2022 theme is "Chaucer Returns to the Movies" and is sponsored by ASU's Dean of Humanities in The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Department of English and its Creative Writing Program, Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, ASU Library, Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing, Institute for Humanities Research, Sidney Poitier New American Film School, and Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College.
