- Description
- Selection from among variant readings should be based on both literary judgment and variant distribution. In the case of MilT, the richest readings are likely to be Chaucer's own. Analysis of them leads to greater appreciation of MilT, "of the processes that shaped the tale," and "of what is distinctive about Chaucer." Robinson examines sets of variants in MilT.
