- Description
- Edits thirty-four poems from Cambridge University Library, MS Ff.1.6—those found in no other manuscript—with texts, notes, glossary, and bibliography. The introduction includes discussion of language and scribes, and commentary on the poems' place in "what might broadly be described as the Chaucerian tradition," with attention to quotations from TC in poem 21; poem 5 as a “much-neglected bit of Chaucerian apocrypha”; the “female voice” of poem 26, which echoes Ven; and more general Chaucerian and Lydgatian resonances.
