About the Book

The General Prologue on CD-ROM presents full materials for detailed study of the text of The General Prologue of The Canterbury Tales, the most-read of all parts of the Tales. The CD-ROM contains transcripts, descriptions, and images of all 53 fifteenth-century manuscripts and early printed editions of The General Prologue. The exact text of every word of every text may be compared through full collations in both original-spelling and regularized form. Spelling databases permit the spelling of every different part of speech of every word to be examined in each manuscript, or across all manuscripts, for some 300,000 words in total. Sophisticated search tools allow retrieval of words and phrases, and permit searches constrained by the structure of the text. An 'analysis workshop' introduces specialized software to enable exploration of the history of the textual tradition, and a 'stemmatic commentary' assesses the evidence at particular crucial readings.

Table of Contents:
General editors' introduction; Editor's introduction; Witnesses (transcripts and images); Collations; All-witness spelling databases; Analysis workshop; Stemmatic commentary; Articles; Sigils; General bibliography; User guide. System requirements The CD-ROM runs identically on PC Windows and Macintosh systems. All necessary search and display software and fonts are provided on the CD-ROM and do not need to be acquired separately. The following equipment is recommended: PC: 386 Or later; Windows 3.1+; 8Mb of RAM; double-speed CD-ROM drive. Macintosh: system 7 or later; 4Mb of RAM; double-speed CD-ROM drive.

Review :
'Here we find the excitement of scholarship finding new answers to old questions.' Computers and Texts 'There are not, I suppose, many people who want to master the austere disciplines of editing Middle English texts. But for anyone who does, and for those who teach them this scholarly craft, Cambridge University Press has produced a chest of treasures, reminding us that for some institutions scholarship is still something to be valued rather than priced.' The Observer
