A study of the language of Chaucerian manuscripts, printed editions
and Chaucer's 15th century followers. Winner of the 2005 Beatrice
White Prize for outstanding scholarly work in the field of English
literature before 1590 The manuscript copies of Chaucer's works
preserve valuable information concerning Chaucer's linguistic
practices and the ways in which scribes responded to these. This
book draws on recent developments in Middle English dialectology,
textual criticism and the application of computers to manuscript
studies to assess the evidence Chaucerian manuscripts provide for
reconstructing Chaucer's own language and his linguistic
environment. This book considershow scribes, editors and Chaucerian
poets transmitted and updated Chaucer's language and the
implications of this for our understanding of Chaucerian book
production and reception, and the processes of linguistic change in
the fifteenth century. Winner of the 2005 Beatrice White Prize for
outstanding scholarly work in the field of English literature
before 1590 SIMON HOROBIN lectures on English language at the
