Websites Designed for Students

• Harvard's METRO: Middle English Teaching Resources Online. One of the best online introductions to Chaucer as poetry and literature.
• One of the best recent resources for students new to Chaucer scholarship is the Open Access Companion to the Canterbury Tales. These 2017 essays introduce students to some of the most cutting edge approaches to Chaucer's works.

Most of the time, you can accomplish the necessary research for an undergraduate Chaucer paper via the scholarly Chaucer Online resources I've suggested. For some kinds of research exploration, however, and for more advanced undergraduate or graduate-level essays, you may need to consult some of the major print resources. This is not an exhausive list of possible resources, just a place for you to begin.

Resources on Chaucer are so prolific that I have divided this resource list into sub-categories:

Chaucer Online: Includes both general interest and scholarly digital resources.

Chaucer Print Resources: Print research pointers for both beginning and advanced students.
