Description
Drawing on his experience as editor of Troilus for The Riverside Chaucer, Stephen Barney here examines in detail many instances of live editorial practice in real situations. He attends especially to shifting modernopinions about the mechanics of editing, the regularity of Chaucer's metre, the meaning of Middle English words, and how these opinions exert their pressures on editorial decisions and on our response to the poet. Contents: Two New Editions of Troilus; Discrimination; Meter and Grammar; Glosses; Beta and Gamma; Owen on Windeatt and Hanna on Root.
