The Cobbler of Canterbury and Robert Greene

Published
N&Q 255 (2010): 349-52.

Description
Given the numerous verbal parallels between Greene's work and "The Cobbler of Canterbury" (an avowed imitation of CT, published anonymously in 1590), it would seem that Greene "fibbed" when, in a separate publication, he "informed the spirits of Geffrey Chaucer and John Gower" that he was not the author of "The Cobbler of Canturbury."
