'Texts with Trowsers': Editing and the Elite Chaucer
- Published
- RES 61 (2010): 331-59.
- Description
- Paradoxically, readers of Chaucer are assumed to respond "intuitively" and yet also to need the aid of specialized academic assistance. The Early English Text Society (EETS) and the Chaucer Society played crucial roles in creating this paradox and, despite their egalitarian goals, led readers to rely on professional assistance when approaching the poet's work.
