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.

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.
