THIS BOOK ARRIVED WAAAAAAAY AHEAD OF THE EXPECTED DATE! Thank you so much You contributed to me receiving an A grade in my course that required this book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ understand Chaucer in depth
*by K***S on 15 February 2026*

Great book for following the Canterbury Tales and other Chaucer writings

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I bought the Riverside Chaucer
*by J***E on 4 November 2024*

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
