- Description
- Intentional scribal adaptations of the "Siege of Rouen" in continuations of the "Brut" demonstrate that manuscript differences are often intentional and not "innocent." Raises anew questions of what it means for Chaucer to insist that Adam write "more trewe" and warn against "miswriting and mismetring."
