Some Fifteenth-Century Manuscripts of the 'Canterbury Tales'
- Published
- Beryl Rowland, ed. Chaucer and Middle English Studies in honour of Rossell Hope Robbins (London: George Allen & Unwin, 1974), pp. 153-63.
- Description
- Distinguishes between two kinds of manuscripts of CT: those in which the entire poem is the sole item or the dominant one and those in which individual tales appear in anthologies. Focuses on the second kind, observing the moral or courtly nature of the anthologized tales and identifying more specific characteristics (readership, affiliations, Chaucer's repute), particularly those of two manuscripts held at the Huntington Library (Ph4 and Hn).
