This edition offers you the first Modern English version of Chaucer's only previously untranslated major work, Boece. Boece is Chaucer's Middle English translation of the 6th-century CE philosopher Boethius's The Consolation of Philosophy. For over a thousand years, The Consolation underpinned Christian understanding of Fate, Fortune, Free Will, and Divine Providence, and its ideas influenced Chaucer's major works. While many editions offer a Modern English translation from the original Latin, this edition gives you an approachable version of Chaucer's translation and puts you face-to-face with his phrasings and emendations. Here, the father of English poetry's voice finally speaks up, so you can enjoy his poetic turns and even track where the language from Boece echoes in The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde.
