The Riverside Chaucer : Reissued with a new foreword by Christopher Cannon

Poetry by individual poets

Published on 4 September 2008 by OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS in the United Kingdom.

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.
