Description:
The 14th-century poet John Gower has been overshadowed by his contemporary Chaucer while the overt political and moral nature of his poetry has made him unpopular with recent critics. However, this collection of thirteen commissioned essays reflects current renewed interest in Gower and urges people to put Gower's reputation to one side and read his verse. The contributions include biographical, linguistic and literary studies with the focus, of course, on Gower's masterpiece Confessio Amantis .
