Note 8 — CHAUCER.[7]
Reading edition
Tyrwhitt doubted the authenticity of “The Flower and the Leaf” and “The Cuckoo and the Nightingale.” To these Mr. Bradshaw (and there can be no higher authority) would add “The Court of Love,” the “Dream,” the “Praise of Woman,” the “Romaunt of the Rose,” and several of the shorter poems. To these doubtful productions there is strong ground, both moral and æsthetic, for adding the “Parson’s Tale.”
