Romancing Geoffrey: Chaucer and Romance in the Manuscript Tradition.

Published: Rachel Stenner, Tamsin Badcoe, and Gareth Griffith, eds. Rereading Chaucer and Spenser: Dan Geffrey with the New Poete (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2019), pp. 137-49.

Description: Focuses on elements of the "popular romance" in the manuscripts of "The Tale of Gamelyn" and "The Tale of "Beryn" and excerpts from Chaucer's works in other manuscripts to show how "the 'Chaucer' presented to early modern readers by the manuscript processes of insertion and excerption took on an increased interest in violence, anti-clericalism, games of incompleteness and imitation, and women suffering from male desire. In short, in significant respects, he became more Spenserian."
