 Great purchase! February 25, 2006

This is a brilliant edition of Chaucer's The Miller's Tale, I find the notes even more helpful than those in the Riverside Chaucer. The annotations are very detailed and scholarly enough to understand Chaucer in a social context, rather than simply in a literary one. Apart from the notes, you will also find an Approaches section, where aspects of the Tale such as theme and characters are covered. This is by far the best edition of The Miller's Tale, and tells you everything concisely rather than sending you off in the references to do your own reading.
Superb for students and teachers alike. June 4, 2004

Containing questions to aid in grasping the plot, and in-depth notes to translate and explain the archaic language and its setting, this edition of The Miller's Tale cannot be ignored as the best in the field. Making study easier, without spoon-feeding the central points, I highly recommend this book.

Perhaps this is not one of the most exciting books of all time, it is however a classic. Once you begin reading it in the way that it was intended and you begin to understand the language it is a very entertaining tale. When placed in the context of what Chaucer was trying to achieve The Miller becomes a very risque character and Chaucer brilliantly distances himself from the 'naughty bits' by making The Miller say these bits - as I say it's a struggle at first but entertaining in the end.
