- Description
- Examines several key terms in textual/editorial theory, exploring their application to various editions of Chaucer--Skeat's edition, Pollard's Globe edition, and editions by Zupitza, Koch, Manly and Rickert, and Robinson. The terms are used inconsistently, but Skeat's "best-text method tempered with a slight sprinkling of eclecticism" and common sense has proved most influential.
