The Authenticity of 'And Preestes Thre'
- Published
- Chaucer Review 16 (1982): 293-310.
- Description
- Despite the textual authority of the half line (GP A 164) "and preestes thre," arguments from an analysis of Chaucer's practice in the portrayal of other pilgrims suggest that the words should be suppressed in a modern edition. There were probably missing lines which included, among other material,a portrait of the Second Nun, symmetrical with other portraits in CT.
