About this title

Synopsis

The topics addressed in these ten essays provide grounds to assess the foci of contemporary Gower studies. Salient among them is the concern with representations of place, understood both as geography and as culture, in the poetry. As well as place, the political element in Gower's writings has been subject to fruitful scrutiny, and there are important linkages and overlaps among these essays on such matters. These essays' easy range over the whole of Gower's trilingual corpus is a testimony of where as the twentieth century drew to a close Gower studies have been at their best, as well as anticipating the scholarly course of the next few years, the first of a new millennium.
