Synopsis

Excerpt from The Complete Works of Geoffrey Chaucer: Edited From Numerous Manuscripts by Walter W. Skeat

I. IN the brief Introduction to vol. Iv. I have given a list of the mss. Of the Canterbury Tales some account of the early printed editions and some explanation of the methods employed in preparing the present edition. I propose here to discuss further certain important points of general interest. And first, I would say a few words as to the Canon of Chaucer's Works, whereby the genuine works are separated from others that have been attributed to him, at various times, by mistake or inadvertence.
