Theory and Practice in Middle English Editing

Published
Text 7 (1994): 107-27.

Description
Surveys recent discussions of the editing of medieval texts, calling for a consistent and sensitive concern for authorial intention, however evasive. Shows how manuscripts of CT and TC reflect Chaucer's likely revision of his works and how such revision is--and is not--reflected in editions and commentary.
