Chaucer Exhibition

ASU presents an exhibition of early printed editions of Chaucer’s works in ASU Library's extraordinary collections, from the Thynne edition of 1550 to the Kelmscott Press production in 1896.

The event is part of the 10th Biennial Chaucer Celebration at ASU, March 26-27, 2026, which commemorates the life and work of medieval author Geoffrey Chaucer. This year's celebration is themed "Chaucer's Women" and features a public lecture by Professor Holly A. Crocker of Boston College and an exhibition of ASU Library’s collection of early printed editions of Chaucer’s works.

All events are free of charge, open to the public, and take place at ASU's Tempe campus.

The 2026 Chaucer Celebration is sponsored by ASU’s Dean of Humanities in The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; Department of English; Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies; ASU Library; and Humanities Institute.
