This book presents a critical edition of Chaucer's lesser-known works, focusing on his handling of diverse poetic forms and styles. The collection includes two contrasting versions of his Prologue to 'The Legend of Good Women', revealing his experimentation with narrative structure. Additionally, there are previously unpublished fragments of 'The Parlament of Foules', providing insights into Chaucer's early development as a poet. The author explores how these works reflect broader literary trends of the time, particularly the influence of French and Italian poetry. Through a meticulous examination of Chaucer's use of language, rhyme, and meter, this book sheds light on the evolution of his poetic voice and his mastery of multiple literary genres. By situating these lesser-known works within the context of Chaucer's oeuvre, this book offers a fresh perspective on the range and depth of his poetic achievement.
