- Description
- Addresses problems in producing editions of medieval poems, focusing on TC and the editions and textual commentaries by Windeatt and Root as well as on Barney's own contribution to "The Riverside Chaucer." Considers such issues as Chaucer's revisions of TC, his metrical and grammatical practices, and the use of sources in establishing Chaucer's texts. Includes corrections to Windeatt's text and notes, and corroborates recent challenges to Root's theory of Chaucer's revisions of TC.
- Explores problems of recension and editing, identifying places where analysis needs to be continued and posing several exercises in editorial practice. The study seeks to raise questions, arguing that they have not yet been answered.
