The "Romaunt of the Rose" and Source Manuscripts.

Published
PMLA 74 (1959): 178-83.

Description
Provides textual evidence to confirm that the three portions of the Middle English Rom--A, B, and C--derive from different manuscript groupings of their French source, the "Roman de la Rose," corroborating arguments that the three portions were translated by different writers, with only A, in all likelihood, being by Chaucer.
