A simple glossary to a number of Middle English terms that appear in Chaucer's works.

"Despite few references to feasts and only a handful of descriptive passages detailing the foods of his period, it is still possible to gather a rather lengthy list of the foods, dishes, livestock, & game that Chaucer mentions in his writings. From The Book of the Duchess to The Canterbury Tales, from drinks to desserts, from Ale to Ypocras, this list represents the broad range of foodstuffs and prepared dishes that fed the average 14th c. Englishman."

A timeline of the main events in Chaucer's life and the period in which he lived (14th century England).

A number of images dealing with Chaucer or his works.

A side by side timeline of Chaucer's life and his times.

"This site provides materials for Harvard University's Chaucer classes in the Core Program, the English Department, and the Division of Continuing Education. (Others of course are welcome to use it.) It provides a wide range of glossed Middle English texts and translations of analogues relevant to Chaucer's works, as well as selections from relevant works by earlier and later writers, critical articles from a variety of perspectives, graphics, and general information on life in the Middle Ages. At the moment the site concentrates on the Canterbury Tales, but the longer-term goal is to create a more general Chaucer page."
