but will keep them alive in the ongoing battle against "link rot."

An Online Compendium and Companion
to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales
The
Reeve's Tale
1. In Middle English
The Reeve's
Prologue and the Reeve's
Tale at the UVa Electronic Text Center.
Read the
Reeve's Tale in the context of Fragment
I -Group A.
Read the Reeve's
Prologue and Tale according to the Hengwrt ms (Hengwrt - Hg), one of the two most
important early manuscripts, at the University of Toronto's Representative Poetry On-line
site. The Ellesmere
manuscript (El) is the other important early edition.
2. In Modern English Translation
Scott
Gettman's edition of the Canterbury
Tales (Electronic Literature Foundation) is accessible by individual tale &
available in a variety of formats: Middle English, Modern English, Facing Page,
& Interpolated - Glossed (frames; from unknown base text).
- Although unsuitable for formal research or college work, the
ELF is the best online version for younger readers and those unfamiliar with Middle
English. Easily navigable, and the Middle English glosses are very helpful.
The Litrix Reading Room translation
of the Canterbury Tales features rhyming couplets.
Sinan Kökbugur's helpfully glossed hypertext Middle English rendition of the complete Canterbury Tales is available at the Librarius page. Use the Table of
Contents in the left frame to click on a specific Tale, and difficult terms and phrases
are glossed in the lower frame.
3. Historical & Cultural Backgrounds
4. Sources, Analogues, & Related Texts
5. Online Notes & Commentary
Discussion and links concerning the Reeve's Prologue and Tale on
Larry D. Benson's superlative Geoffrey
Chaucer Page (Harvard). Includes e-texts of scholarly essays, sources and ancillary
texts, and capsule discussions of key issues. Some of the items related to the Reeve's
Tale include:
6. Online Essays & Books
Bloch, R.
Howard, and Frances Ferguson, eds. Misogyny, Misandry, and
Misanthropy. Berkeley: U of California P, 1989. http://ark.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/ft809nb586/
An
important work of gender criticism in Chaucer studies is Elaine Tuttle
Hanson's Chaucer and the Fictions of Gender (Berkeley: U of
California P, 1992). It is available online at <http://ark.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/ft2s2004t2/>

of California Press E-Scholarship Editions and includes:
R.A.
Shoaf's online postprint Dante, Chaucer, and
the Currency of the Word devotes Chapter 10 to "Fragment A and the
Versions of the Household"
7. Student Projects & Essays
Anniina Jokkinen's Essays and Articles on Chaucer
includes a number of sample student essays, of varying quality. Like any other
source, student essays must be evaluated rigorously, cited correctly, and used
responsibly. Jokkinen also compiles a number of resources by Canterbury
Tale: The
Reeve's Tale

13. The
Next Step
See the
The
Poor Medieval Scholar's
Electronic Bookshelf
for recommended
texts from Google Book Search& Microsoft Live Search.
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.
Google Custom
Search
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.
