Title
Multi-Dimensional Reading in Two Manuscripts of "Troilus and Criseyde."

Published
Chaucer Review 51.2 (2016): 248-68.

Description
Reads the manuscript glosses to TC in Cambridge, St. John's College, MS L.i and Cambridge, University Library, MS Gg.IV.27 as an "experimental early step toward the more elaborate marginal apparatus" in CT manuscripts. The TC glosses reflect a "complex hermeneutic of interpretation," rich in ambiguities, that result from "multi-dimensional intertextuality" with Joseph of Exeter's "Iliad," one of Chaucer's sources.
