Chaucer is a lot more bold and sexual in his entirety than he is in frequently anthologized portions of the Tales.

After a Chaucer seminar, I have never looked back. As an English major, I reference Chaucer so many times a day that I can't believe I went so long without really understanding his work. A must have for any serious Chaucer scholar.

I've only read the Canterbury Tales, but they're well glossed here, and the introduction is helpful.

A very fine and complete version of works by the middle English writer.

I haven't read the entire book, but I've read a lot of it. I specifically recommend The Miller's Tale, The Friar's Tale, and Troilus and Criseyde.

Fantastic compendium of Chaucer, including Troilus & Criseyde, the Parliament of Fowles and The Canterbury Tales. Knowledge of Middle English is a must.

Hell yes! Chaucer uses double negatives, such a bad ass. ( I amend that- QUADRUPLE negatives.)

If you can read it...it's hilarious, and great social commentary too.

The original comedian. This is an expensive edition, but the best I've seen. It's a treasure I will hold onto forever.

The individual tales are hit or miss, but linguistically, it's amazing.
