Parallel Manuscript Readings in the CT Retraction and Edward of Norwich's Master of Game
- Published
- Chaucer Review 36: 87-90., 2001.
- Description
- Not all manuscripts of Ret read LGW as "xxv" tales (other numbers are "xix" and "xx"). Edward of Norwich (ca. 1406) uses "xxv" and refers to the work as the "Goode Wymmen," not, as is more common, the book of "ladies." He may have read Ret, in which Chaucer uses the word "women"; family connections would account for his access to the works.
