- Published
- Studies in the Age of Chaucer 9 (1987): 155-72.
- Description
- Against the revision theories of R. K. Root, Barry Windeatt's edition of TC argues that Chaucer began by translating Boccaccio, then filling in "reflective and 'philosophic' material." Arguments from context support Root rather than Windeatt; Windeatt's edition is nevertheless a valuable scholarly tool.
