The Making of Chaucer's English: A Study of Words - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature
Cannon, Christopher (University of Cambridge)
This book examines the presumption that Chaucer invented literary English, and argues instead that his English is largely traditional. It provides a thorough history of every one of Chaucer's words and maps the origins and patterns of use that have made these words so compelling for 600 years.
