- Description
- Assesses Francis Thynne's references to the "Plowman's Tale" and the "Pilgrim's Tale" in the "Animadversions" on Speght's edition of Chaucer, concluding that no sixteenth-century printer tried to pass off the latter as Chaucer's. Although the "Plowman's Tale" was consistently in the hands of Chaucer's printers, his association with the "Pilgrim's Tale" is a "bibliographical fantasy."
