Compiling the Canterbury Tales in Fifteenth-Century Manuscripts

Overview
Horobin talks about the Canterbury Tales. In recent studies of the manuscript tradition of the Canterbury Tales, scholars have considered the possibility that differences in the content and arrangement of the earliest manuscripts might be indicative of discrete stages of authorial revision. Such a view is not new; Walter W. Skeat was one of the earliest editors to raise such a possibility. Skeat viewed the order of the Hengwrt manuscript as representing Chaucer's first attempt at arranging his work. This early stage was followed by four subsequent revisions, three of which Skeat viewed as authorial, the final as work of a later editor. More recently, N. F. Blake has raised the possibility that some of the earliest manuscripts of the Canterbury Tales may have been written under Chaucer's supervision, and that differences in content and tale order would therefore represent separate stages of authorial revision.
