Title
Analyzing the Order of Items in Manuscripts of The Canterbury Tales

Published
Computers and the Humanities 37 (2003): 97-109.

Description
Construction of a stemma for CT based on gene-order analysis supports the idea that there was no established order when the first manuscripts were written. The resulting stemma shows relationships predicted by earlier scholars, reveals new relationships, and shares features with a word-variation stemma.
