Jonathan Fruoco has kindly shared the video of his presentation for the 2022 International Congress of Medieval Studies. This case study provides examples from Fruoco’s forthcoming French translation of The Miller’s Tale to illustrate how he conveys Chaucer’s comically bawdy double entendres. Whatever his technique for retaining the joke, he always works to provide a recognizable textual space for his readers.
We look forward to announcing on these pages when Jonathan’s translation is published.
