- Description
- Presents ClPT in Middle English (based on Robinson's 1957 edition), with notes and glossary at the end of the text, along with an appendix (pp. 91-99) that offers lines 4.813-924 of ClT in facing-page juxtaposition with one of its source texts, "Le Livre Griseldis," in order to show "Chaucer translating and reshaping French prose into English rhymed verse." The Introduction (pp. 1-8) comments on the place of ClT in the CT, Chaucer's style, and his treatment of traditional material.
