Beyond the Canterbury Tales, Chaucer wrote a rich body of dream-vision poetry and prose. Volume 3 of his collected works gathers The House of Fame, a visionary comic poem narrated by ‘Geffrey’ himself; The Legend of Good Women, a sequence of verse lives of classical heroines; and the scientific Treatise on the Astrolabe, written for his young son.

This volume also includes scholarly notes on the sources of the Canterbury Tales, making it essential reading for students of medieval English literature. The free EPUB is cleanly formatted throughout.
