Selecting a "Complete Works of Chaucer" Edition

I'm trying to determine what's out there for "complete works of Chaucer" volumes/editions and hopefully some of you can help me figure this out (I did look at some LT works pages but wasn't able to make much of it).

I'm seeking an edition with:
- everything Chaucer has done (truly complete)
- "bilingual" (containing original Middle English and modern English "translation," preferably side by side/on facing pages)
- woodcuts/illustrations are nice when available but not a must (not looking for something extraordinary like Kelmscott)
- scholarly analysis is nice when available but not a must (I'm reading for entertainment)

I assume, from the fact that the Kelmscott (much discussed on LT) is a single volume, that a "complete works" would be a single volume and not a set of 3 or 5 etc., although the inclusion of a translation may change this (and the Kelmscott has large pages, so maybe a single volume isn't a realistic expectation). A multi-volume set wouldn't be a problem, as long as I know what I'm getting into. But then, I wouldn't want a 10-volume set that puffed out to 10 because of huge amounts of scholarly analysis (a bit is fine; a dissertation isn't).

I like special/deluxe editions, and had been looking at a 3-volume Folio Society set of Canterbury Tales, but it may make more sense to just go with a "complete works" if I can find one that makes sense to me. It needn't be Folio Society or any special edition, if the one I find that seems best to me is a simple university press or Everyman edition etc. If there are special editions of "complete works" (other than Kelmscott), I'm generally in the $100 and under budget position for this.

Any help is appreciated!

Well, except for the facing-page modern translation The Riverside Chaucer more or less fits your description. I don't know of a complete Chaucer with all the scholarly bells and whistles that also includes a translation -- perhaps because the scholarly approach swould be to have you address the ME text with glosses but no fullscale translation. Available new in cloth for about $30 http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=1408387106&searchurl=n%3D10... or used for less than half that. Or in used paperback for abt $10

There are certainly a number of Chaucer translations, including several facing-page ones, but as far as I can see they are of the Canterbury Tales rather than of every last woorde he wrytt. For example

or
http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=16253407768&searchurl=bi%3D...
are facing-page CTs. The only facing-page Troylus I see is the Folio Society edition.

Perhaps a good solution might be to use the Riverside Chaucer in tandem with one of the facing-page paperbacks of the Cant. Tales?

Thanks.

Given that I can do without the analysis, might there be a complete Chaucer with modern translations of everything? Or perhaps only CT garnered the attention/market for that?

Yeah, I think the demand for modernizations of his lesser works is limited. Book of the Duchess, Parliament of Fowles, House of Fame, Legend of Good Women -- his major 'minor' poems -- can be found translated in this Penguin http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?isbn=9780140444087 But no facing page (I believe). And there are single-volume translations of Troylus.

I'm not an expert on Chaucer bibliography but I'm a pretty fair book scout and the only COMPLETE translation I see is JSP Tatlock's which seems to be out of print, although it is available second-hand (or "new" in one of those dreadful print-on-demand cheap paperback reprints).

Here are the second-hand copies on ABE. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?kn=The%20Modern%20Reader%27s%20Cha... Many are only Fair to Good, or ex-library, or both; but there are some supposedly Very Good copies further down the list in the $20+ range. BUT although it's a complete translation it does not (I believe) include the original Middle English text. I still recommend the Riverside for really coming to grips with old Geoff...

Thanks! That is very helpful.
