What is the miracle of Caedmon’s hymn? Consider the poem itself as well as Bede’s account of its genesis The miracle of Caedmon’s Hymn according to the Venerable Bede is that while Bede had always known Caedmon as a great poet of unmatched skill. He did not always possess such a talent. Bede contended that the gift of song that Caedmon had could have only come from God. The reason for this was so Caedmon could bring the people that come to listen to him away from evil. For much of Caedmon’s life he had ...

Chaucer sets The Canterbury Tales in a period of economic evolution in England, so it is unsurprising that social strata is an important theme. It is perhaps most significant in the representations of members of the new middle class. A central question this new social grouping rears is what constitutes power in society, especially within the context of their specific community. As seen in The Tales, wealth isn’t the only factor influencing power struggle among the classes. The late 1380s and early 1390s England experienced a period of significant social turmoil. The plague was responsible for the deaths ...

[Client’s name] Discuss how the General Prologue to The Canterbury Tales and one of the tales themselves could function as a criticism of the three estates of medieval culture; that is, the social hierarchy of the 14th century. How do Chaucer’s descriptions of the pilgrims in the prologue contribute to this? In the Medieval Culture there were three estates of the society.
