Notes: Ten Bourdes is a fresh edition of the poems found in Ten fifteenth-century comic poems (New York: Garland, 1985), with one deletion (The Feast of Tottenham) and one addition (King Edward and the Shepherd). This edition is designed for students. The earlier scholarly edition was done before the publication of the Linguistic Atlas of Late Mediaeval English (LALME) with its new information, which has now changed many conclusions about the place of origin of poems.
