- Text of PardPT and the GP description of the Pardoner (based on Robinson's edition, 1957) with end-of-text notes and glosses. In his Introduction, Spearing summarizes the practices of medieval pardoners and preachers, assesses the character and characterization of the Pardoner, and comments on the rhetorical and narrative aspects of PardPT. The revised edition moves the GP description from an appendix to the head of the text and updates the Introduction.
