Title :
The Author at Work: The Two Versions of the Prologue to the "Legend of Good Women" ["In this paper I want to examine the differences between the two versions and to consider whether these differences can best be explained by the theory that one version is a revision, carried out by Chaucer, of the other. I will also discuss the priority of the two versions, and try to indicate the circumstances in which, I believe, the two versions arose." Page 135.].
