Description
Analyzes the dialect forms and textual variants of the "Tale of Gamelyn" in four of the twenty-five CT manuscripts that contain it (Ha4 Cp La Pw), arguing that, in "Gamelyn," these manuscripts evince a textual tradition and editorial practice which "bridge the gap between groups 'c' and 'd' of the 'Canterbury Tales' manuscripts."
