Geoffrey Chaucer

This project was initiated at the 33rd International Congress of Medieval Studies by a group of medievalists interested in promoting Chaucer studies on the WWW. Its aims are: to organize and provide navigation aides for Chaucer resources on the WWW; to work towards enhancing and extending those resources; and to encourage Chaucer studies, including those undertaken via "distance learning," at all levels of education.

Includes Spencer's letters from the 1580s, A Vewe of the Present State of Ireland, and other resources, including a word-list and a 16th century dictionary of Chaucerian vocabulary.
