Title
Of This Cokes Tale

Published
Chaucer Review 24 (1990): 259-62.

Description
Chaucer completed CkT in approximately seven hundred lines, but since the final quire of the booklet containing the tales of the Miller, Reeve, and Cook was lost very early in the manuscript tradition, the Hengwrt scribe--writing in London or Westminster, ca. 1405--was unable to find or hear of it.
