The husband for shame could not deny this request, but granted it: whereupon the next morning she got her up, and on with her holy-day apparell, and made her as fine as might be: the cobler, seeing his wife so trickt up in her cleane linnen, began to bee jealous, and called his mother aside, and charged her by that love she bare him, not to let his wife part out of her company till she came home againe, which she promised with an oath: so away they went, and the cobler he sate him downe and began to sing, The smith, that all this day was not idle, had compounded with an old woman, by whose house she must passe, to favour them with house roome, and revealed unto her all the matter; whose wife it was, and how hee would have his purpose brought to passe.

Recognised on its first appearance as the most comprehensive single-volume guide to The Canterbury Tales yet produced, this third edition brings the Tales up to date in relation both to recent criticism and to the changing expectations of modern readers. The Guide provide tale-by-tale information on textual variations and sources, together with a readable commentary on thematic issues, structure, style, generic affiliations, and the contribution of each tale to the work as a whole. It concludes with a survey of the many imitations of the tales down to the early seventeenth century. This new edition also takes account of the latest scholarship, theory, and criticism and new interpretations of the tales, including such matters as gender identity, consent, and racial and religious difference. The book is the most comprehensive single-volume guide to the Tales yet produced, bringing together a wide range of disparate material and providing a readable commentary on all aspects of the work. It combines the comprehensive coverage of a reference book with the clarity and coherence of a critical account. Since its first publication in 1989, the Guide has established itself as an indispensable aid for any reader looking to develop their understanding of The Canterbury Tales.
