- Description
- A variorum edition of Chaucer's SqT based on the Hengwrt and built on the model that has evolved over many years: critical and textual introductions, newly established text for SqT, collations providing evidence both of the manuscripts and of the printed editions, textual and explanatory notes, and bibliography.
- Collating ten manuscripts and twenty-three printed editions, Baker also surveys criticism through 1987. Critical commentary includes sections on sources and analogues; the date of SqT; the question of allegory; the fragment and its continuations; the relation to CT, KnT, MerT, and FranT; genre; and suitability of tale to teller.
