First published in 1916, The Textual Tradition of Chaucer’s Troilus compares the best unprinted manuscripts of Chaucer’s Troilus with the printed texts. The purpose of the volume is to evaluate eighteen manuscripts, to determine so far as may be their relation to one another and to Chaucer’s original, and to show how they are to be used for the establishing of a critical text. This book will be of interest to students of literature, linguistics and history.

An accurate reproduction of what the poem was when Chaucer had made his final revisions--an enormously complex task, for the eighteen manuscripts and early printed editions show continuous alteration by the poet. Mr. Root's general solution of the problem will be accepted. Originally published in 1966. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
