- Description
- Summarizes Furnivall's capacious contributions to Chaucer studies (and Middle English generally), and comments that his "chief contributions" to the editing of Chaucer lie in his "selection of the texts" to print and his care with copying, printing, and proofing, which resulted in important resources for later editors.
