- Review
- Cites recent arguments (promulgated by Peter Nicholson) concerning the role of scribes in the creation of what Macaulay identified as stages of revision in the MSS of CA, in his discussion of the tendency of modern editors to resist or reject theories of authorial revision of Middle English works that were accepted by preceding generations of scholars.
