Miscellaneity and Apocrypha in Chaucer’s Works (1532)
- Published
- Huntington Library Quarterly 85 (2022): 643-61.
- Description
- Compares the contents of manuscripts of Chaucer's works and those of early printed editions, especially William Thynne's 1532 edition of "Works." Focuses on the heterogeneous mixture of Chaucerian materials, apocrypha, and works by other authors in Thynne's edition--and the impact of their arrangements--to clarify the nature of "miscellaneity," its value as a critical concept, and its role in canon formation.
