- Published
- Leeds Studies in English 43 (2012): 93-115.
- Description
- Discusses the "framing elements" of Mel, its glosses in the Hengwrt and Ellesmere manuscripts (comparing them with those in ParsT), and the codicological contexts of the five fifteenth-century manuscripts of the Tale that exist "outside the story collection" of CT and indicate that "advice on self-governance" is "central to understanding" the Tale.
