And also in memory of Janet Adelman, whose inspiring survey course I took in 1974 on many of the Canterbury Tales and Books I and III of Spenser's Faerie Queene made me decide to change my major from Philosophy to English.

Digital Chaucer on CD-Rom, including one wiht all 84 manuscripts.

Ellesmere Manuscript

"An online side-by-side translation/resource hub for the Canterbury Tales. In addition to the hyper-linked glossary, the summary-title subsections, and the clever side-by-side reference, it also features supplement articles that pertain to each fragment."

Philologically minded students will enjoy writing about words using the online Middle English Dictionary: http://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/med/

The Chaucer Metapage is mostly useless these days, since many of its links haven't been updated in the last five years or longer: http://www.vmi.edu/fswebs.aspx?tid=34099&id=34227

Students who want to write about medieval images and or art can use the Digital Scriptorium http://www.scriptorium.columbia.edu/ and the Bibliotheque Nationale's Mandragore: http://mandragore.bnf.fr/html/accueil.html

For help in tracking down sources for research papers, the Chaucer Bibliography Online (http://uchaucer.utsa.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=First) . The endnotes in the Steve Ellis Chaucer: An Oxford Guide are also very helpful for guiding students to good research.

"Tim Machan has a really good article on versioning in Chaucer's poetry and notions of hyptertext - see here"
