- Description
- Traces Stow's declining reputation among eighteenth- and nineteenth-century editors of Chaucer as well as a gradual revival of appreciation of Stow's edition, first among bibliophiles and later with modern Chaucerians. Dane examines the variants in imprints of Stow's edition and how these variants are cataloged in the STC. Includes facsimiles of two different title pages from the 1561 edition.
