Editing Geoffrey Chaucer (section)

==List of works==
The following major works are in roughly chronological order, but scholars still debate the dating of most of Chaucer's output. Works made up of a collection of stories may have been compiled over a long period.

===Major works===
*''[[The Book of the Duchess]]''
*''[[The House of Fame]]''
*''[[Anelida and Arcite]]''
*''[[Parlement of Foules]]''
*''[[Troilus and Criseyde]]''
*''[[The Legend of Good Women]]''
*''[[The Canterbury Tales]]''
*''[[A Treatise on the Astrolabe]]''

===Translations===
*Translation of ''[[Roman de la Rose]]'', possibly extant as ''[[The Romaunt of the Rose]]''
*Translation of [[Boethius]]' ''[[Consolation of Philosophy]]'' as ''[[Boece (Chaucer)|Boece]]''

===Short poems===
*''An ABC''
*''Chaucers Wordes unto Adam, His Owne Scriveyn'' (disputed)<ref>Weiskott, Eric. "''Adam Scriveyn'' and Chaucer's Metrical Practice." ''Medium Ævum'' 86 (2017): 147–51.</ref>
*''The Complaint unto Pity''
*''The Complaint of Chaucer to his Purse''
*''[[The Complaint of Mars]]''
*''The Complaint of Venus''
*''A Complaint to His Lady''
*''The Former Age''
*''Fortune''
*''Gentilesse''
*''Lak of Stedfastnesse''
*''Lenvoy de Chaucer a Scogan''
*''Lenvoy de Chaucer a Bukton''
*''Proverbs''
[[File:Balade to Rosemounde.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|''Balade to Rosemounde'', 1477 print]]
*''Balade to Rosemounde''
*''Truth''
*''Womanly Noblesse''

===Poems of doubtful authorship===
*''Against Women Unconstant''
*''A Balade of Complaint''
*''Complaynt D'Amours''
*''[[Merciles Beaute]]''
*''The Equatorie of the Planets''&nbsp;– A rough translation of a Latin work derived from an Arab work of the same title. It is a description of the construction and use of a [[planetary equatorium]], which was used in calculating planetary orbits and positions (at the time, it was believed the sun orbited the Earth). The similar ''[[Treatise on the Astrolabe]]'', not usually doubted as Chaucer's work, in addition to Chaucer's name as a gloss to the manuscript, are the main pieces of evidence for the ascription to Chaucer. However, the evidence Chaucer wrote such a work is questionable and, thus, is not included in ''The Riverside Chaucer''. If Chaucer had not composed this work, it would have probably been written by a contemporary.

===Works presumed lost===
*''Of the Wreched Engendrynge of Mankynde'', possible translation of [[Innocent III]]'s [[De Miseria Condicionis Humane|''De miseria conditionis humanae'']]
*''Origenes upon the Maudeleyne''
*''The Book of the Leoun''&nbsp;– "The Book of the Lion" is mentioned in Chaucer's retraction. It has been speculated that it may have been a redaction of [[Guillaume de Machaut]]'s 'Dit dou lyon,' a story about courtly love (a subject about which Chaucer frequently wrote).

===Spurious works===
*''[[The Pilgrim's Tale]]''&nbsp;– written in the 16th century with many Chaucerian allusions
*''[[The Plowman's Tale]]'' or ''The Complaint of the Ploughman''&nbsp;– a [[Lollard]] satire later appropriated as a Protestant text
*''[[Pierce the Ploughman's Crede]]''&nbsp;– a Lollard satire later appropriated by Protestants
*''The Ploughman's Tale''&nbsp;– its body is largely a version of [[Thomas Hoccleve]]'s "Item de Beata Virgine"<ref>{{cite book|chapter-url=https://d.lib.rochester.edu/teams/text/bowers-canterbury-tales-fifteenth-century-ploughmans-tale-introduction |chapter=The Ploughman's Tale: Introduction |editor1-first=John M. |editor1-last=Bowers |title=The Canterbury Tales: Fifteenth-Century Continuations and Additions |year=1992|location= Kalamazoo |publisher=Medieval Institute Publications}}</ref>
