Round, Nicholas G.
Hispanic Research Journal 11.1 (2010): 82-93.
Argues that Perez Galdos's "El amigo Manso" (1882) echoes TC in its concern with philosophical consolation, the theme of kinds of knowledge, and the narrator protagonist's mocking of his mourners in the afterlife. Like Troilus, Manso is an idealistic…
Late medieval literary and historical attitudes toward pardoners suggest that the depictions in "Piers Plowman" and PardPT are exaggerated. Shaffern documents ecclesiastical efforts to control abuse of the office.
Freer, Scott.
Historical Journal of Film, Radio, and Television 27 (2007): 357-70.

Tabulates and analyzes the "gender-based" nouns used of the marital couple in MerT, compared with uses elsewhere in CT, focusing on uses of "wyf" and "housbonde" (61 versus 4 uses in MerT), and on the locution of "taking" a wife. Such usages connect…

The Inns of Court did not serve as places of legal instruction before the fifteenth century. Evidence from legal manuscripts suggests that such instruction was handled not only through attendance at court but also by means of lectures, annotated…
Traces the legacy of Lollard and Wycliffite writings in early modern print, including works incorrectly attributed to Chaucer (such as "The Plowman's Tale," "Jack Upland," and "The Testament of Love") and led to him being regarded as a…

Compares and contrasts details of the illustrative portraits of the Canterbury pilgrims--illuminations from the Ellesmere manuscript and woodcuts from Richard Pynson's edition of 1491/92, here inaccurately called the "first printed edition." Comments…

Snell, William.
Hiyoshi Review of English Studies 44 (2004): 157-72
Explores why Samuel Johnson did not carry out his publicized intention to produce an annotated edition of Chaucer's works. If he had relied on Urry's edition, the annotated edition would have proved a sorry rival to Tyrwhitt's.
