Drawing from the famous Ellesmere Manuscript, this edition features a critical introduction, marginal glosses in modern English, and explanatory footnotes to help readers navigate the complex language.

In addition to the core tales, this edition includes ten illustrations from the Ellesmere Manuscript, as well as several popular prologues and tales that showcase Chaucer's mastery of storytelling. A new glossary, timeline, and detailed headers make it easier to find specific sections of the poem.
