ABSTRACT This article assesses the editorial methodologies employed in the new, two-volume Oxford Chaucer (2024). It explores various issues including the treatment of orthography, emendations, the term “copy text,” and the understanding of Chaucer’s meter, along with various bibliographical issues relating to editorial matters, including the comprehensive enumeration of manuscripts and texts and foliation. It also considers the relationship of this edition to that published by W. W. Skeat in 1894.
