[Albert Moritz]

Is this a reprint and is the cover as depicted. The lead author of this study is Prof. Theresa Moritz of the University of Toronto. The reading of the Canterbury Tales originated in and is substantially that of her master's degree thesis, and Judson, her thesis adviser, then collaborated, mainly on the addition of the material supporting the reading with the presentation of medieval rhetoric as medieval poetics when properly understood, especially with reference to the medieval understanding of the order and organization of the Metamorphoses. Both authors should be given for this book, but if only one is given, it should be Theresa Moritz.
