Bibliography
Since the chapter on the Chaucerians was printed and the above biblio-
graphy was composed, the long desired revision of Ritson's list of Lydgate's
works has appeared in the form of a lecture to the Philological Society
by Henry Noble McCracken. This introduces important variations in the
canon, such formerly accepted works as London Lickpenny being, for in-
stance, excluded. The list must henceforward be taken into serious account
by all Lydgate students. Its author puts it forth in no dictatorial manner.
But, as it proceeds on the premiss that 'Lydgate was always smooth,' im-
poses arbitrary rime tests and disqualifies such positive testimony as that
of Hawes to his master's work, it is evident that there must be room for
considerable difference of opinion as to the probable correctness of this re-
vision.
