MacDonald, Alasdair A.

Chaucer's 'Man of Law's Tale' 847: A Reconsideration

Published
Chaucer Review 22 (1988): 246-49.

Description
John C. Hirsh's proposed emendation of "wo man" to "woman" in MLT 847 is probably unwarranted. Consideration of manuscript evidence, as well as syntax and cultural context, render Hirsh's reading implausible.
