Gamelyn's Place among the Early Exemplars for Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales'
- Published
- Neophilologus 97. 2 (2013): 395-415
- Description
- Applying ANOVA/Tukey's Range Test on nine early CT manuscripts, the author finds that none of them is based on exemplars written in more than three hands. Attributes the final ordering in the first manuscripts of CT to "the poem's first two scribes, probably working after Chaucer's death and spuriously adding the Tale of Gamelyn."
