- Description
- Contends that data from the Canterbury Tales Project have not been widely used in Chaucer studies, partly on account of misunderstanding the project's purpose and function. That function is to produce evidence through analysis of witness groups, not to create an edition nor determine a point of origin for manuscript variation. Demonstrates the validity and utility of project data and provides an example through analysis of CT, III.117 (for which the Riverside offers "And of so parfit wys a [wright] ywroght?").
