Description

The first series of this collection consists of different texts of Chaucer's works. The second series includes critical works as well as texts.

Items in both series are individually cataloged for the public catalog withoutt call numbers. Microcards are interfiled in the general microcard collection by main entry.

The Chaucer Society was founded in 1868 by Dr. E. L. Furnivall "to do honor to Chaucer and to let the lovers and students of him see how far the best unprinted manuscrips of his works differed from the unprinted texts."*

The Libraries hold many titles by Chaucer. Because there are so many, a card which explains the filing order of the entries precedes the Chaucer cards in the Author/Title section of the catalog.
