It has certainly made my job easier! - Mary Flowers Braswell, University of Alabama at Birmingham This attractive, readable edition features Chaucer's Middle English text, marginal glosses, explanatory footnotes, and illustrative facsimile pages. Especially helpful are the appended 'background documents,' historical and literary, which provide key contexts for the interpretation of Chaucer's work. A useful bibliography concludes the volume. Highly recommended. - Ann W. Astell, University of Notre Dame Author InformationRobert Boenig is Professor of English at Texas A&M University.
