Chaucer's Boccaccio
Sources for Troilus and the Knight's and Franklin's Tales: Translations from the
Nicholas R. Havely
`The notes are a model of economy... The introduction is quite superb... The volume as a whole is a worthy addition to a series which has already begun to establish high expectations.' TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION SUPPLEMENT
