- Description
- Comprises thirty-six "introductory essays for first-time, university-level readers" of CT, written by more than thirty "professional scholars," covering GP and each of the tales (two each for KnT, WBPT, and MerT), the Host and frame, Chaucer's language, his life, social conditions of his time (two chapters), the manuscripts of CT, together with a symposium that includes twelve responses to reading Chaucer. Each essay is PDF-downloadable, with study questions and bibliography; many include hyperlinks to related online material. The website is searchable and freely accessible, includes a "User's Guide" and a site menu on each page, and promises to add materials in the future. For the individual essays, search for The Open Access Companion to the Canterbury Tales under Alternative Title.
