About This Book

This volume provides extensive critical apparatus for Chaucer's pilgrimage-frame collection: an extended introduction to editorial history and textual principles, practical notes on Middle English pronunciation and metre, manuscript and early-print comparisons, and line-by-line glosses and annotations on prologues and individual tales arranged by established groupings; it also discusses previous editors' approaches, variant readings, scansion rules, and vocabulary explanations to aid readers and students in understanding language, meter, and editorial choices.
