Adam Pynkhurst's 'Necglygence and Rape' Reassessed
- Published
- English Studies 92 (2011): 360-74.
- Description
- The author addresses the question whether Chaucer had Adam Pynkhurst in mind when berating his scribe Adam for his sloppy work and, on the basis of palaeographical evidence, seeks to determine whether Pynkhurst's performance improved afterwards. To round off her argument, Sánchez-Marti further discusses the possibility that the "Gawain" scribe may have taken part in the supervision of the Ellesmere MS.
