Description
Describes conjunctions--"many of them improbable or curious"--among the materials contained in manuscripts "which preserve just one or two of Chaucer's short poems," exploring what they "can tell us about the reception and transmission of Chaucer's verse." Aligns the range of circulation of Chaucer's "moral lyrics" with their status as "wise and semi-proverbial."
