"Chaucer is brilliant. I think he's better than Shakespeare at concealing his own opinions and manipulations. It's hard to know where Chaucer stands on any of his stories and characters or when to take him seriously and when he's just having fun. That's part of what makes his work so complex and interesting. Must reads: "The Canterbury Tales," "Troilus and Cressida," and "Parliament of Fowls." Enjoy."
"Bought this for class. It's great, but there are cheaper editions of the ME text out there as long as you don't need to know about the manuscript sources, alternate readings, etc."
"Okay, so this is THE book for Chaucer studies. However...and this is a big however...it is NOT a reader-friendly edition. The way the footnotes are set up is completely asinine, in my opinion. This is a great edition for Chaucer scholars who have been reading Chaucer for decades and know the stories well and read Middle English just as easily as they read the newspaper. For people not in those categories, this is not the ideal edition. Look for an edition that gives definitional glosses out to the side of each line rather than at the bottom of the page. It will make a huge difference."
