Double-weighted statement
This 9-year project necessitated a patient tracking down of all Anglo-Norman and Middle English tail-rhyme poems. Several dozen of the manuscripts containing them were then visited in order to trace the history and potential purpose of the peculiar layout sometimes used for this verse form. Linguistic evidence for the geographic origin of all 35 romances was then reanalyzed (see 90-page Appendix). The combination of detailed linguistic analyses and multiple manuscript studies allowed the identification of significant trends in the composition and circulation of these romances, as well as furnishing others with raw data that is not available anywhere else.
