- Description
- Argues that Chaucer himself is the "most reasonable choice" for author of the glosses to CT manuscripts that derive from St. Jerome's "Epistola Adversus Jovinianum." Discusses how the glosses to WBP indicate "Chaucer as glossator" and how two "special problems" of glosses to FranT "can be solved only if Chaucer is recognized as the one who placed them opposite his own text." Considers Chaucer's sequence and process of composition in these Tales as crucial evidence, clues to Chaucer's activities as a "working poet."
