Review: I bought the Riverside Chaucer - I intend to read and study the Prologue to the Canterbury Tales. I still have the edition of Chaucer's Poems by Walter W. Skeat (1962), but I wanted to buy a more recent edition of his poems. The Riverside Chaucer contains a lot of more recent information about the author, the time in which he lived etc. At the moment I am reading the chapter on the pronunciation of Chaucer's English, which is very useful. Conclusion: I am very satisfied with my purchase. Johan A. Hyde
Review: Riverside Chaucer - A great educational text
