with myself; for listeners who may want to read parts of the text, though, I recommend
https://chaucer.fas.harvard.edu/, which has the text as it appears in the Ellesmere MS, plus
interlinear translation, and some good commentary]
I dunno if I’ll make reference to anything else, but I’ll probably briefly mention at least these,
especially Muscatine - I talk about Muscatine a lot…possibly too much
