- Description
- Edits the majority of Chaucer's verse (no prose included) in normalized spelling and modern punctuation, with bottom-of-page glosses and occasional brief notes. Omits Book 3 of HF, the legends of LGW (but LGWP-G included), several lyrics, and portions of CT (CkT, MLT, FrT, SumT, SqT, PhyT, SumT, CYT, and ManT are lacking). Appends introductions to Chaucer's language and life, along with valuable commentary on the works anthologized here (including discussion of each of the Canterbury pilgrims), a Bibliography, and a Glossary.
