Excellent Reference for Students,
By David Johnson (Portland, OR, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chaucer A to Z: The Essential Reference to His Life and Works (Literary A to Z) (Hardcover)
I used Chaucer A to Z in both my senior year of high school and my freshman year of college where I talked a professor into letting me into his upper-level English course on Chaucer. I found the book to be a tremendous help in understanding what was going on in Chaucer's early works, like the Book of the Duchess, as well as giving me a greater understanding of each of the Canterbury Tales. Since none of the classes covered ALL of the Canterbury Tales, I was able to use Ms. Rossignol's summaries to find out what I was missing in the tales we didn't read. The information about Chaucer's life was also very helpful. All in all, this is a first rate book, the most comprehensive guide to Chaucer I have seen.

Precious on english history.,
This review is from: Chaucer A to Z: The Essential Reference to His Life and Works (Literary A to Z) (Hardcover)
After reading it, I think that It is really a good book that can be bring intoschools to teach the students the proceesing of the English literature.Though, it still has some problems on reading books for the old words, its value can not be quoted.
