The third edition of the definitive collection of Chaucer's Complete Works, reissued with a new foreword by Christopher Cannon. Since F. N. Robinson's 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 Chaucer's art, but has also enabled scholars, working for the first time with all the source-material, to recreate Chaucer's 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 Chaucer's Complete Works.

Geoffrey Chaucer (/ˈtʃɔːsər/; c. 1343 - 25 October 1400), known as the Father of English literature, is widely considered the greatest English poet of the Middle Ages and was the first poet to be buried in Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey.

While he achieved fame during his lifetime as an author, philosopher, and astronomer, composing a scientific treatise on the astrolabe for his ten-year-old son Lewis, Chaucer also maintained an active career in the civil service as a bureaucrat, courtier and diplomat. Among his many works, which include The Book of the Duchess, the House of Fame, the Legend of Good Women and Troilus and Criseyde. He is best known today for The Canterbury Tales.

Chaucer was a crucial figure in developing the legitimacy of the vernacular, Middle English, at a time when the dominant literary languages in England were French and Latin.

High-quality product!

This edition of Chaucer is a thick boy! Be prepared for a massive tome. It is very well made with high-quality paper and binding. The item arrived right on time and was in excellent condition. I have nothing but the most decent things to say about this book and the seller who sold it!

The sheer amount of prose and poetry here is extraordinary given the range of important official jobs GC had in his career and the fact that he wrote at a time before electric lighting and computers.

As an English major, I was thrilled to find this paperback version of the literary standard for Chaucerean studies at such an affordable price! Arrived quickly and in perfect condition!

Much easier to haul around than the hardcover

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

I'm not really here to review Chaucer. If you're reading him, you know what you're dealing with. I do wish, however, that they put the additional information all in one place, instead of having notes before the section, at the back of the book (in addition to the glossary), and footnotes. The page numbering matches the hardcover exactly, which was much appreciated during tests.

As for the quality of the book itself, it's all right. I bought this because my class is a half hour walk away from my apartment, and is uphill, too. The hardcover would have been terrible to bring. The paper is thin and the print is small, but the upside is that it's a whole lot lighter. The binding hasn't failed despite a semester of fairly heavy abuse, so it's done it's job. My professor said the older paperback edition used to be notorious for how quickly the binding split, so I appreciated that my book is still in pretty good shape, 4 months later.

It was a great piece of literature about power

I got this book for my medieval literature class specifically for Troilus and Criseyde. It was a great piece of literature about power, love and manipulation.

Excellent, Authoritative, but Bad Binding

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

The Riverside Chaucer, anyone who does research on the subject should know, is the edition to turn to. Even if someone where to dislike it, The Chaucer Review, for example, requests specifically to quote from its pages... I somehow feel disappointed, though, that the manuscript utilized for The Canterbury Tales is the Ellesmere, when the Hengwrt is usually recognized as more authoritative, but for that we have the excellent facsimile by the Ohio University, which I already reviewed.
Overall it is great, and the only important drawback is the sheer size of the paperback along with the fact that it is glued, making it a sure candidate to lose its pages sooner or later.

Extremely useful - explanatory notes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 24, 2020

Bought a used edition from the marketplace: For anyone studying this, the paper copy is essential (and worth the money) as there are so many explanatory notes and contextual information included. I found this much more useful than any free online edition of the Canterbury Tales.

Buch wie beschrieben, jedoch kam es in unmöglichem Zustand an. Es sah aus, als sei es im Lager 3 mal aus dem Schrank gefallen, Knicke im Einband und graue Dreckstreifen an den Ecken. Eine Unverschämtheit! Ich kaufe Bücher nur bei Amazon, wenn sie bei Thalia nicht schnell verfügbar sind und ich sie nicht verschenken möchte. Ist leider nicht zum ersten Mal eine Enttäuschung.
