Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and the Auchinleck MSl : Analogous Collections?
- Published
- Archiv 242 (2005): 259-74.
- Description
- Manuscript compilations, especially the Auchinleck MS, are structural analogues to CT. Manuscripts segmented into booklets parallel the fragments in CT in four ways: segments vary considerably in size and shape; common subjects and themes link portions that are not contiguous; segments evince multiple "voices" in scribal hands and literary styles; and portions are incomplete or unfinished.
- Chaucer Subjects
- Canterbury Tales--General.
