- Description
- An edition of HF based on a collation of all five witnesses (three menuscripts plus editions of Caxton and Thynne), with a substantial, though incomplete, set of variants.
- Bodleian MS Fairfax 16 is the base text and the exemplar for spelling. The introduction includes descriptions of the witnesses and discussions of fate, language, versification, "intertextualities," "poetics," and Chaucer's use of the grotesque.
- The text is lightly glossed, and the volume includes a glossary, an index of proper names, and fifty-three pages of explanatory notes.
