Warner's research reveals new information, including hundreds of documents in the hand of one of Chaucer's and Langland's most important scribes, and represents an important intervention in Middle English studies. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 244 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19 August 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe discovery of Chaucer's scribe in 2004 marked a significant turning point in medieval studies, and it was a period that was dominated by the influential figure of Adam Pynkhurst. Pynkhurst's dominance in the classroom led to the suggestion that this identification should prompt the abandonment of our understanding of the development of London English and the acceptance that the clerks of the Guildhall were actively promoting vernacular literature as part of a concerted political program. In response to this, Lawrence Warner has undertaken a meticulous research project that challenges the narratives and conclusions of recent scholarship. Warner presents a fresh and more nuanced perspective, one that recognizes the involvement of many more scribes, both anonymous and known, in the production of manuscripts during the fifteenth century.
