Description
In determining Chaucer's plan for CT, too much attention has been placed on the Ellesmere and Hengwrt manuscripts at the expense of the other eighty-one manuscripts, where the order of the tales may differ. In Ad3 (British Library MS Additional 35286), CkP and CkT fall between ManT and CYP; SNT, between SumT and ClP. Such variations provide for alternative readings of various groups of tales.
