Description
Examines the lyrics embedded in BD, LGWP, PF, and TC, considering their functions in context and the extent to which textual and codicological evidence can clarify the process of their incorporation. Contrasts these lyrics with French models in Machaut and Froissart, indicating the relatively limited information we have about Chaucer's practice.
