Editing All the Manuscripts of All 'The Canterbury Tales' into Electronic Form: Is the Effort Worthwhile?

Published
W. Speed Hill, ed. New Ways of Looking at Old Texts, II: Papers of the Renaissance English Text Society, 1992-1996. Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies, no. 188 (Tempe, Ariz.: Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies, with the Renaissance English Text Society, 1998), pp. 121-32.

Description
A description of questions raised in the process of producing the first installment of the computer-assisted "Canterbury Tales" Project (SAC 20 [1998], no. 11), and a justification of the project. The first installment made possible Solopova's analyses of meter and punctuation in WBP and clarified something of Chaucer's process of revision, in particular his excision of the so-called "added passages" from WBP.
