When Geoffrey Chaucer died in 1400, his massive project, the Canterbury Tales, lay unfinished and unpublished. This volume includes five works that aim to fill in the gaps in this incomplete masterpiece. The pieces presented here date from the fifteenth century and survive in at least one manuscript collection of Chaucer's tales: John Lydgate's Prologue to the Siege of Thebes, The Ploughman's Tale, The Cook's Tale, Spurious Links, and The Canterbury Interlude and Merchant's Tale of Beryn. These pieces of Chaucerian apocrypha have been collected into one student-friendly edition, including introductions, notes, glosses, and a glossary to accommodate students of all levels of experience in Middle English.… (mehr)
waltzmn: Anyone reading Bowers's book of Chaucer pseudepigrapha will need a good edition of Chaucer's own works as well -- and there is no better one-volume edition than the Riverside Chaucer.
The TEAMS series of Middle English texts is a very useful, helpful collection of texts, and this volume is no exception. Because Chaucer never finished the Canterbury Tales, there were many attempts to complete, or at least pad out, the book. This TEAMS edition collects some of the results.
If it has any defects at all, it is that word "some." It would be nice to see Gamelyn here, for instance. Yes, it's available in another TEAMS volume, but this is the logical place for it. It would be much easier if all the early Chaucer additions were here, not just the ones "left over."
But that's a minor gripe. This is a well-written, well-edited book, including a very good romance (the Tale of Beryn) not available elsewhere. Students who want to look beyond the basics of Chaucer will be very happy to have this book. ( )

Preface
When the call went out for contributions to a Middle English Texts Series aimed at student readers, I sat back and asked myself which ancillary texts I would have wanted, more than any others, when I first read Chaucer as a graduate student at the University of Virginia.
General Introduction
When Geoffrey Chaucer died in 1400 at his residence in the precincts of the Benedictine Monastery at Westminster and his body was buried in that part of the Abbey's south transept ater known as "Poet's Corner," the body of his poetry remained to take on a life of its own.
