Okay, I'm serious here. I've got the Norton Critical Edition of Troilus and Cresyde, and it's so refreshing after that Penguin Classics edition of The Canterbury Tales! I mean, glosses in the margins instead of at the bottom of the page! It's such a joy to read. And it's only printed on every other page (on the left hand pages, there's a translation of Il Filostrato by Boccaccio), so it feels like I've gotten more accomplished than I really have. Apparently, it even has the Testament of Cresseid by Robert Henryson, which we also have to read later in the semester! Of course, I only checked it out from the library, but I'm completely and totally in love with this book.
