- Description
- Explores the orthography and meter of "seint(e)" in GP, 120, and elsewhere in Chaucer’s poetry, claiming that "the line is a metrical non-problem," despite the tradition of reading it as irregular, in need of emendation, or troubling because of the presence (or lack) of -e in manuscripts.
