Chaucer, G: Chaucer

Excerpt from Chaucer: The Legend of Good Women

I have undertaken the present edition of Chaucer's Legend of Good Women' because none Of the existing editions give a wholly satisfactory text, nor do they give more than extremely meagre comments upon the various points of interest connected with the poem. Some account of former editions will be given below, following upon the descriptions of the mss.
