New Site Announcement: Over the past several years, the METS team has been building a new website and new digital edition, in collaboration with Cast Iron Coding. This next phase of METS' editions includes improved functionality and accessibility, an increased focus on transparency, and conformity to best practices for open access and digital editions, including TEI markup. We are currently in a "soft launch" phase in which we will monitor the new site for bugs and errors. We encourage you to visit our new site at https://metseditions.org, and we welcome feedback here: https://tinyurl.com/bdmfv282
We will continue to publish all new editions in print and online, but our new online editions will include TEI/XML markup and other features. Over the next two years, we will be working on updating our legacy volumes to conform to our new standards.
Our current site will be available for use until mid-December 2024. After that point, users will be redirected to the new site. We encourage you to update bookmarks and syllabuses over the next few months. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us at robbins@ur.rochester.edu.

A Balade in the Praise and Commendacion of Master Geffray Chauser for His Golden Eloquence Maister Geffray Chauser, that now lithe in grave, The noble rhetoricion and poet of Great Bretaine, That worthy was the laurer of poetry to have, For this, his labor, and the palme to atteine, Whiche first made to dystil and reine The gold dewe dropes of speche and eloquence, Into English tong through his excelence. From John Stow's Workes of Geffrey Chaucer, 1561 (fol. 337v). These seven lines served as an envoy to Chaucer's Parliament of Fowls in both Trinity College, Cambridge MS R.3.19 and British Library, MS Harley 7333. The extract from John Lydgate's Life of Our Lady (2. 1628-34). Described by Walter Skeat as "a poor imitation of the style of Lydgate" (Chaucerian, p. 554). |
