It wasn't like this in my day

In my day, English Lit exams were strictly about dead white males. O' Level consisted of Shakespeare, Chaucer and GBS, and very dull it was too. Still, it gave you backbone, as well as teaching you the valuable life skill of being able to sleep with your eyes open while maintaining an expression of rapt attention. Not a bit like today's dumbed down stuff, where some of the authors are actually not men, and what is worse, some of them are still alive too! The impudence of it!

Still, say one thing for it, if you got stuck with the meaning of part of the Miller's Tale, you couldn't drop a question to Geoffrey Chaucer on his blog to find out exactly what he meant.
