Writing to R.W. Chapman, George S. Gordon, Tolkien's co-editor on the Clarendon Chaucer project for Oxford University Press says that his staffing is much better, and that he may take Tolkien from him, if only to allow him the time to complete texts.
Gordon mentions that his staffing numbers are now better, but remarks that he may try to take Tolkien from Chapman and bring him to Oxford, if only to give him more leisure to write.
In early 1922, George S. Gordon discusses with David Nichol SmithD.N. Smith was a Scottish scholar, Merton Professor of English Literature at Oxford from 1929 to 1946, as well as working in the USA, Australia, Canada and across Europe.[1] the idea of a volume with selections of Chaucer's works. This will become the Clarendon Chaucer, ultimately abandoned and remains unfinished.
