Author / Editor
Wolfe, Matthew C.

Title
Placing Chaucer's Retraction for a Reception of Closure

Published
Chaucer Review 33: 427-31, 1999.

Description
It is possible that Ret was written as a general work, found among the papers and drafts of CT, and then put at the end of that work by scribes and early editors. If thought to apply to Chaucer's entire corpus, Ret broadens our view of the poet as a working writer.
