Paul Strohm, ed. Middle English (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007), pp. 51-67.

Description
Warren challenges the notion that translations are worth less than their "originals," arguing that each work is a particular cultural manifestation. She treats Chaucer as the "text-book case of an 'author-translator'" (in contrast with Henry Lovelich) and suggests that the diversity and rich cultural context of Middle English complicate the notion of monolingualism, citing TC, LGW, and NPT.
