- Description
- Analyzes the text of BD found in the 1807 collected edition "The Poetical Works of Geoffrey Chaucer," showing "that it is fair to consider the work a new edition," based on John Urry’s 1721 edition of BD and loosely following Thomas Tyrwhitt's critique of Urry. Attends to verb forms, pronouns, and punctuation, observing that the 1807 edition is evidently the first printed edition to use the title "Book of the Duchess."
