- Description
- Biographical sketch of Bressie, focusing on her work with John M. Manly, Edith Rickert, and Lilian Redstone on the Chaucer life-records and her unsuccessful competition with Martin Crow to publish works related to Chaucer. Bestul admires Bressie's dedication, lays clear her ambitiousness, and describes the conditions that contributed to her isolation, obsessiveness, and status as an "oppressed female academic."
