- Published
- Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America 87 (1993): 65-80.
- Description
- Questions long-established assumptions about the status of Cambridge Gg and examines Kane's methods for solving Gg 126-38. Argues that the G text of LGWP is "a modern and potentially misleading critical fiction"; that Gg should be regarded as a manuscript variant; and that the prologue in Gg is "a response to catastrophic damage in its exemplar."
