An Online Compendium and Companion
to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales
2. The Canterbury Tales
In Translation
Sinan Kökbugur has assembled a hypertext, helpfully glossed Middle English edition
of the Canterbury Tales with side-by-side Modern English translation at the Librarius Homepage.
The Electronic Library Foundation's edition of the Canterbury Tales is
available in a variety of format: in Middle English, Modern English, and facing page
versions. Very good for student reading.

Seems to be down at present.
-
Unsuitable for formal academic research, the ELF
edition is the best online version for younger readers and those unfamiliar with Middle
English. Easily navigable, and the Middle English glosses are very helpful.
Michael Murphy (CUNY-Brooklyn) has released an expanded
version of his project to "modernize" the Canterbury Tales in
his Reader
Friendly Edition of the General Prologue and Sixteen Tales (up from
the four tales of the so called "Marriage Group"), including the
General
Prologue and the tales by the
The collection of translations begins with a handsome Introduction
and concludes with Endnotes.
Each tale also features an introduction. Requires
Adobe
Acrobat Reader.
The Litrix Reading Room translation
of the Canterbury Tales features rhyming couplets.
The Wiretap Canterbury
Tales (from an unknown base text digitized by Ted and Florence Daniels) is incomplete
and unnumbered. Not recommended.
The Canterbury
Tales and other Poems of Geoffrey Chaucer (Ed. D. Laing Purves from an
unknown base-text) offers an odd assortment of unnumbered texts and is
probably more useful for the introductory essay than for the text and thin
critical apparatus. The one advantage to this text is that it
is available as an e-book download for a modest $1.75 for you digi-kiddies
out there!

Google Scholar
Google Scholar indexes
academic material but doesn't yet make all of that material
available. In most cases, you'll have to access your own
institution's electronic databases and library materials to get
the full text versions.
Because it
does not make full texts available,
at this point
Google Scholar is best used as a bibliographical
resource.
Google Book Search & Microsoft
Live Search
These projects
are also showing their growing pains, but they
make a number of (primarily) older studies related to
Chaucer and medieval literature and culture in full
text. You can
contribute to the success of this effort by informing Google
or Microsoft of any incorrect scans, missing pages, or other errors.
Only out-of-copyright books are
available in full and some of the scans are
messy. I will cross list the relevant titles
at the Electronic Canterbury Tales -
Online Books and Essays main page and at the appropriate
web page for each Canterbury Tale.

You can search for handpicked websites related to
Chaucer and medieval culture as recommended by ECT users.
I welcome your
suggestions for suitable websites. Please be patient as
I tune the search terms.
