The Riverside Chaucer

About this book

The third edition of the definitive collection of Chaucers Complete Works reissued with a new foreword by Christopher Cannon. Since F. N. Robinsons second edition of the The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer was published in 1957 there has been a dramatic increase in Chaucer scholarship. This has not only enriched our understanding of Chaucers art but has also enabled scholars working for the first time with all the source-material to recreate Chaucers authentic texts. For the third edition an international team of experts completely re-edited all the works added glosses to appear on the page with the text and greatly expanded the introductory material explanatory notes textual notes bibliography and glossary. In short the Riverside Chaucer is the fruit of many years study - the most authentic and exciting edition available of Chaucers Complete Works.
