Updated acknowledgment to the late Prof. Jane Zatta's Chaucer page which is now hosted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Gratitude is due Harvard and its production of
The Canterbury Tales
for the image of Chaucer's Wife of Bath, as excerpted from the Ellesmere Manuscript.
Thanks too to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for the late Prof. Jane Zatta's

Geoffrey Chaucer (c. 1340-1400), excerpt from “The Wife of Bath's Prologue,” The Canterbury Tales, Modern English version translated by J. U. Nicolson, Middle English version edited by W. W. Skeat, Volume 22: Troilus and Cressida and The Canterbury Tales, Great Books of the Western World, 1952, Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc., Chicago and London;
Additional links: Various versions of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales are available online. A solely Middle English edition can be found as part of the Middle English Collection at the University of Virginia's Electronic Text Center. Librarius has a Middle English edition of the Tales, including a nice hypertext Middle English glossary. Harvard has an online edition of The Canterbury Tales with a (different than herein) dual-language presentation of the “Wife of Bath's Prologue” as part of its Geoffrey Chaucer page. Jane Zatta's Chaucer page by the late Prof. Jane Zatta at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides good information as well as many links, including one to “The Chaucer MetaPage” (which Prof. Zatta's Chaucer page calls “an essential link to a hub of Chaucer pages”). Then there's the British Library, where Caxton's 1476 and 1483 printed editions of The Canterbury Tales may be viewed on their original pages. Finally, GeoffreyChaucer.org, presents links to other important Chaucer resources.
