This book provides a thoroughly sound text of Chaucer's works, established from the earliest prints and best manuscripts, which satisfy the requirements of both students of language and casual readers alike. The author has provided a large body of illustrative notes with many drawn from the works of the author's predecessors, yet many others have been included due to the author's own reading over many years, and some due to the labors of recent critics. The extensive glossary provided is particularly useful to students as it marks the parts of speech of nearly every word, while parsing every verbal form sufficiently. This book is an invaluable tool for anyone interested in the study of Chaucer.

Excerpt from The Complete Works of Geoffrey Chaucer: Edited, From Numerous Manuscripts
I. IN the very brief Introduction to vol. I., I have given a sketch Of the general contents of the present work. I here take Occasion, for the reader's information, to describe somewhat more particularly the chief objects which I have had in View.
In the first place, my endeavour has been to produce a thoroughly sound text, founded solely on the best mss. And the earliest prints, which shall satisfy at once the requirements Of the student of language and the reader who delights in poetry. In the interest Of both, it is highly desirable that Chaucer's genuine works Should be kept apart from those which were recklessly associated with them in the early editions, and even in modern editions have been but imperfectly suppressed. It was also desirable, or rather absolutely necessary, that the recent advances in our knowledge Of middle-english grammar and phonetics Should be rightly utilised, and that no verbal form should be allowed to appear which would have been unacceptable to a good scribe of the fourteenth century 1.
