But the impact of Chaucers work was felt even into the 16th and 17th centuries, when the first major collections of his writings set a high standard for how authors should be presented to the reading public. This widely esteemed seven-volume setfirst published in the 1890s by British academic WALTER WILLIAM SKEAT (18351912), Erlington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Cambridge Universityis based solely on Chaucers original manuscripts and the earliest available published works (with any significant variations or deviations between versions highlighted in the extensive notes), and comes complete with Skeats informative commentary on many passages.
