Dream Visions and Other Poems by Geoffrey Chaucer presents a rich collection of his poetry, extensively glossed and accompanied by individual introductions and explanatory annotations. This edition uses a lightly regularised spelling system and requires no prior knowledge of Chaucer, making it accessible to newcomers.
