Description
Comments on the critical reception of Manly and Rickert's "The Text of the Canterbury Tales" (1940), exploring underlying assumptions about textual theory and gender politics. Uses Tom Stoppard's play "The Invention of Love" (1997) to reveal perspectives that underlie the praise of Manly's work and the occlusion of Rickert's.
