Description
Pushes back on assumptions that have been made about Adam Pinkhurst and homes in on narratives constructed by scholars such as Linne Mooney. By analyzing idiomatic and vernacular trends, responds to the cult of Pinkhurst as "Chaucer's Scribe" by arguing that Pinkhurst is not the person Chaucer addresses in Adam and that he was not the scribe of Hengwrt or Ellesmere manuscripts of CT.
