This fast-moving Modern English version of Chaucer's greatest
tragic romance highlights the poem's rapid shifts in register and
diction as well as its subtle and elusive characterizations, while
preserving the enchanting rhyme-royal stanza of the Middle English
original. Christine Chism's Introduction illuminates the work's
historical context, poetic devices, first audiences, sources, and
non-traditional re-conception of a traditional female protagonist
"whose faults," as Criseyde says, "are rolled on every tongue."
