Description: One of the most comprehensive collections of primary source material available for the study of Chaucer's works: selections from a large number of writers regarded by Chaucer and his contemporaries as authorities in matters ranging from reading to romantic love, chivalric ideals to antifeminist charges, marriage to human destiny. The selections are drawn from works which Chaucer is known to have used, as well as other works representing significant medieval attitudes towards matters with which he, like many other authors of his day, concerned himself.
