This study functions as a significant addition to the Chaucer variorum tradition by making available for the first time a printed copy of the tales which differs significantly from the traditional, anthologized manuscripts such as the Ellesmere and the Hengwrt. The work invites the reader to temporarily de-center “good” Chaucer manuscripts, to question the established nexus points of discussion about the tales based on these manuscripts, and to embrace the freeplay of modernity in Ps fonds anglais 39 which is an early fifteenth-century Canterbury Tales manuscript that reads like a product of a post-Caxton editorial process. Through the process of de-centering, questioning, and ultimately embracing the indeterminacy of the manuscript history of The Canterbury Tales, this book creates an entirely new experience of reading Chaucer’s unfinished masterpiece.
Reviews
“As Clermont-Ferrand notes, ‘our choice of manuscript for The Canterbury Tales creates our experience of The Canterbury Tales.’ Likewise, by reading other Canterbury Tales, we may enhance our subsequent experience of more familiar editions. An edition of Paris fonds anglais 39 is unlikely to replace the Riverside - yet the more versions of The Canterbury Tales to which we have access, the richer will be our understanding of this and future scholarly editions. In editing this manuscript, Clermont-Ferrand has allowed the often ignored voice of Jean d’Angoulême tell his own Canterbury Tales to a wider company, and it is to be hoped that other such editions of further manuscripts will follow.” - Paul Hardwick, Ph.D., Trinity and All Saints, University of Leeds
