This Norton Critical Edition of the medieval masterpiece features its most popular tales, including two new additions to the Third Edition: The Man of Law's Prologue and Tale, and The Second Nun's Prologue and Tale. The text is accompanied by extensive marginal glosses, explanatory footnotes, a preface, and a guide to Chaucer's language, all curated by V.A. Kolve and Glending Olson. Additionally, the edition includes sources and analogues arranged by tale, as well as twelve critical essays, seven of which are new to the Third Edition. The book also provides a Chronology, a Short Glossary, and a Selected Bibliography.
This edition has been more helpful to students, both the better and the lesser ones, than any other book the editor has used in their more than a quarter century of university teaching, according to RICHARD L. KIRKWOOD of the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire.
Norton Critical Editions are the standard-bearers in the field, read by over 12 million students for the past fifty-five years. The three-part format – annotated text, contexts, and criticism – helps students better understand, analyze, and appreciate the literature, while opening a wide range of teaching possibilities for instructors. Whether in print or digital format, Norton Critical Editions provide students with all the resources they need.
