This authoritative edition of the complete works of Geoffrey Chaucer presents Chaucer's works for a new generation of students, and for a wide range of general readers. It provides all that undergraduates and graduate students will need to understand and appreciate Chaucer in his original Middle English, as well as an extensive scholarly apparatus. A detailed introduction situates Chaucer's works in his life and culture and offers a guide on how to read and enjoy his language and verse forms. The edition contains all of Chaucer's surviving poetry and prose, edited using a coherent editorial practice that is explained to the reader; detailed glosses on each line to aid reading; literary introductions to each text; extensive explanatory notes designed both to help the beginner with the text and to guide the scholar; and textual introductions and notes to every text, providing a detailed rationale and all of the empirical evidence for the editing practice by which the texts have been presented.
