Review
Prints the first stanza of CB 30, reprinting Thomas Warton, 1774-81. No source is given for the printings (with glosses) of CA Prologue, 1-60, 1st recension; from "The Tale of Constance," II, 693-790; and "Alexander and the Pirate," III, 2363-2417. Brief biography and commentary by T. Arnold, critiques the "absurd confusion" of CA and characterizes Gower as "timid and a timeserver." [RFY1981].
