Reviews
“. . . a welcome and exhaustive contribution to Chaucer’s scholarship, and will no doubt become an important reference in the field of textual editing.” – Prof. Teresa Fanego, University of Santiago de Compostela
“. . . a much-needed new approach to Gamelyn that significantly enhances our awareness of 14th century Ricardian texts and makes the modern reader approach Chaucerian literature and texts with a renewed interest.” – Prof. Santiago González y Fernández Corugedo, University of Oviedo
