Anthology of Middle English Literature: Articles and Essays: " These essays are not intended to replace library research. They are here to show you what others think about a given subject, and to perhaps spark an interest or an idea in you. To take one of these essays, copy it, and to pass it off as your own is known as plagiarism—academic dishonesty which will result (in every university I've heard tell of) in suspension or dismissal from the university. Not only are your professors as technology savvy as you are, they will not tolerate theft of another's intellectual efforts."

Chaucer: The Canterbury Tales: "This web page, which is under construction, is intended to provide an extra resource for students in Eng 404. You will find a link to the SAC (Studies in the Age of Chaucer) online bibliography of Chaucer studies published from 1975-to the present. This is the best resource to use to find essays about Chaucer and his works, including individual Canterbury Tales. In order to access this bibliography, your web browser must be configured for a telnet application. After you have made the connection, type "library," and press "Enter;" then type "chau." Type slowly. You can find citations for essays on individual tales and pilgrims either by doing a keyword search or a subject search. When you have finished using the bibliography, type "stop." You will also find links here to three different versions of the Canterbury Tales, one in Middle English with glosses, one in Middle English, and a Modern English translation. In addition there are links to resources on other servers that provide information about Chaucer's literary context as well as the Medieval Sourcebook that has a vast collection of primary sources."

Geoffrey Chaucer (ca.1343-1400): "Quotes, The Life of Geoffrey Chaucer, The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, Additional Sources, Essays on chaucer."

Canterbury Cathedral: "Canterbury is the seat of the origins of English Christianity, the site where St. Augustine, the monk sent by Gregory the Great to Christianize the English, baptized King Etherbert of Kent on Whit Sunday in 597. Augustine became the first Archbishop of Canterbury, and his church, dedicated to Christ Jesus, was later burned by the Danes during the reign of archbishop Alphege."

Geoffrey Chaucer: "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."

The Electronic Canterbury Tales: An abundance of Chaucer links.
