- This is the first complete new edition of Chaucer’s work for more than a generation, aimed both at enlarging the general readership for Chaucer and at the postgraduate and scholarly community. Fourteen years in preparation, including eighteen months sabbatical and special research leave in Cambridge and Oxford, it entailed a complete re-editing, re-punctuation and re-glossing of Chaucer’s text from the main manuscripts, a systematic rethinking of the presentation of his prose texts, and writing an extensive new introduction, headnotes and critical notes: xii + 1197 pages. There is a separate edition of The Canterbury Tales: x + 628 pages.
