- Description
- Despite Chaucer's efforts to create a stable "poetic self-fashioning," WBPT takes different forms in its different redactions in the Hengwrt and Ellesmere manuscripts and in Thynne's 1532 edition.
- The textual variants of the manuscripts, especially the so-called added passages of WBP, and the glosses to the manuscripts reflect how open the text was. Thynne's version of the Wife "manifests the hegemonics" of his literary tradition.
