Description
Suggests that Henry Bradshaw looked at CT as an early book in terms of quire structure, which he tried to reconstruct, rather than a topologically real pilgrimage.
Outlines the editorial history of CT, which after Bradshaw reflected the twentienth-century aesthetics of New Criticism. The recent return to a process of fragmentation is documented by both the "Variorum Chaucer" and the CD-ROM edition.
