This site provides materials for Harvard University's Chaucer classes in the Core Program,the English Department, and the Division of Continuing Education. It provides a wide range of glossed Middle English texts and translations of analogues relevant to Chaucer's works, as well as selections from relevant works by earlier and later writers, critical articles from a variety of perspectives, graphics, and general information on life in the Middle Ages. At the moment the site concentrates on the Canterbury Tales, but the longer-term goal is to create a more general Chaucer page.

The Camelot Project, in my opinion, is the best website on medieval romances available right now. It provides a complete link to the TEAMS Middle English texts, which is the e-text version of all works of medieval literature published by Western Michigan University. The Camelot Project also has links to post-medieval reworkings of Arthurian legends, as well as many helpful and interesting articles written by professors and students in Rochester. Moreover, this web site is very well maintained--the latest update was done in August 2008. Anyone that has an interest in Arthurian romances but do not know what to read or where to start should check out this web site.
