A Suggestion for Emending the Epilogue of 'Troilus and Criseyde'

Description: Four stanzas that seem out of place in the conclusion can be removed and reinserted, resulting in improved syntactic and thematic continuity. There is no manuscript authority for the mistaken position (all manuscripts have the order of the received text), but the manuscripts do suggest that elsewhere Chaucer was constantly revising as he composed the poem.
