Description
Compares Chaucer's and Hoccleve's manuscripts in terms of authorial control, contrasting the "muddle of disparate exemplars" of CT with Hoccleve's detailed attention to format. Specifically contrasts Hoccleve's "mid-stanza paraph" in his autograph manuscripts with the mid-stanza paraph's complete absence from manuscripts of TC in the same period.
