6 Series Editors Foreword The purpose of the Palgrave Literary Dictionaries is to provide the reader with immediate access to reliable information on some of the major authors of literature written in the English language. These books are intended for a readership including students, graduate students, teachers, scholars, and advanced general readers. Each volume will be dedicated either to an individual author or to a group of authors. It will offer a concise reference guide, consisting mainly of entries presented under headwords arranged in alphabetical order. The entries will vary in length from about 10 to about 3000 words, depending on the significance of the particular topic. The topics will include the literary works, individuals, fictional characters, genres, traditions, events, places, institutions, editors, and scholars most relevant to a full and sophisticated understanding and appreciation of the author (or authors) in question. The more substantial entries will include suggestions for further reading, full particulars of which will be supplied in a selective bibliography. Access to information will be facilitated by extensive cross-referencing. We trust that volumes in this series will be judged by their effectiveness in providing quick, clear, and convenient access to reliable and scholarly information. BRIAN G. CARAHER & ESTELLE SHEEHAN SERIES EDITORS QUEEN S UNIVERSITY BELFAST vi
7 Preface This book is intended to provide the reader with swift and convenient access to scholarly information about the works, life, and times of Geoffrey Chaucer, presented in succinct and cogent form. It consists mainly of about 720 entries, arranged under headwords in alphabetical order. These headwords have been carefully chosen. They cover topics and issues which include the following: each of Chaucer s works; major fictional characters in these works; writers who influenced Chaucer or were influenced by him; people and places of significance in Chaucer s life and works; relevant genres and literary traditions; the most significant manuscripts and editions; the most distinguished scholars and editors (up to c. 1950); and historical, social, and political contexts. The selection of the topics and issues covered in the entries has, inevitably, been limited by the relatively compact scale of this book; it is also at least somewhat subjective. It has, however, been carefully and consistently related to the texts of Chaucer s works and to the events of his life and times. An outline of the latter is provided in the brief chronology (pp. xiv xvi). Access to the information contained in the entries is facilitated by crossreferences of two distinct kinds. Nearly 300 headwords serve only as crossreferences to one or more relevant entries. Within each entry, asterisks are used to indicate the existence of another potentially relevant entry on a related topic. (The latter method is not used to indicate the existence of entries on Chaucer or any of his works, since it will hardly be necessary to draw these to the reader s attention.) Each entry begins with a brief definition. While this comprises the whole entry in a minority of cases, in most it introduces an account which varies in length from a few dozen to three thousand words. The length of any particular entry is intended to be appropriate to the relative significance and complexity of its topic. Plentiful allusions to Chaucer s works are provided. These make use of abbreviated titles, as listed in the table of abbreviations (pp. x xiii). In order to avoid any potential confusion, all abbreviated titles appear in italics (whatever the length of the work in question). Line references are provided whenever allusions are made to specific passages, lines, or words. While these refer specifically to the text printed in The Riverside Chaucer, they should allow the reader to locate the relevant passage in any good edition. Translations of the titles of works in Latin are provided, but vii
8 viii Preface only in the main entry in which they are cited (normally that on the author of the work in question). The longer entries and those on the more significant topics end with suggestions for further reading. These refer to the brief selective bibliography, with which this book concludes.
9 Acknowledgements The genesis of the Palgrave Literary Dictionary of Geoffrey Chaucer has been somewhat strange and notably protracted. About fifteen years ago, a publisher contacted me to ask whether I thought there was a need for a handbook on Chaucer. After reviewing the relevant publications then available, I responded by observing that the term handbook was used to describe books of several different kinds, and that (in my view) the most useful addition to these would be a Chaucer dictionary. When the publisher proceeded to ask me whether I wished to submit a proposal for such a volume, my answer was negative essentially because I was then both involved in other projects and carrying a heavy burden of management duties in my university. During the following years, I found, nonetheless, that the idea of such a volume slowly took shape in my mind. I discussed it with several scholars in the field, and gradually compiled a list of potential headwords. When I happened to meet Eleanor Birne then a commissioning editor with Palgrave in the autumn of 2000, and mentioned the idea to her, she responded with enthusiasm. The outcome, five years later, is not only the present volume but also a fledgling series. In the early stages of this project, Queen s University provided me with a part-time research assistant, Lisa English, to help me keep my research alive during a year of particularly heavy management duties. As well as assisting with another project, she did some valuable work on my list of headwords and created some computer files which served me very well. During the early stages of the project, I also benefited from the support and advice of various scholars, especially Al David, Tony Edwards, and the late David Burnley. Several other colleagues have kindly provided specific information: thanks are due to James Binns, Bruce Campbell, Brian Caraher, Kevin De Ornellas, Rosalind Field, Judith Green, Stephen Kelly, Linne Mooney, Desmond O Rawe, Derek Pearsall, Estelle Sheehan, Karen Smyth, and John Thompson. I have enjoyed working with three Palgrave editors first Eleanor Birne, then Emily Rosser, and finally Paula Kennedy. Throughout this project and, indeed, throughout my career I have been exceptionally fortunate in the support I have received from my wife and family. I am particularly grateful to my wife, Lena, not only for taking care of me so well, but also for granting me the space to get on with my work. MALCOLM ANDREW QUEEN S UNIVERSITY BELFAST ix
