- Description
- Examines the relationship of Ret to ParsT and the relation of both to CT, arguing that editors and critics have been mistaken in separating the treatise from the confession and in ascribing one to the Parson and the other to Chaucer. Manuscript rubrics and editorial history indicate that the two works might best be considered a single prose treatise wholly separate from CT, which ends with ParsP.
