Broschiert / Paperback. Condition: Gut. VII, 139 Seiten / p. Sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Introduction -- That John Gower s minor Latin poems should be among the last of his works to be translated into his native English in a way is apt, since they seem to have been among the last poetry he wrote - although assigning most of them anything but approximate dates of composition is impossible. As the poem Eneidos Bucolis ( attributed to a "Philosopher," but possibly by Gower himself; see Appendix 1 ) takes note, Gower s achievement in writing substantially in all three primary languages of his time - Anglo-French, English, and Latin - was a source of pride to others and, undoubtedly, to him too: into the final years of his life he continued to produce poetry in all three languages. At the very end, however (if we can read aright the poems Dicunt scripture and Orate pro anima, seemingly written, respectively, along with his will and for display upon his tomb), his final metered thoughts were in Latin, the language that Gower, like most of his contemporaries, associated with timeless authority. -- As a late medieval English Latinist Gower exhibits, in his minor poems as elsewhere, most of the traits of his time - which is to say, when compared to the great Augustan writers whose work he knew and admired ( much of Ovid he seems to have got by heart ) , he comes at times somewhat rudely off, reliant as he was upon authorial models less classical than contemporary. ( A. G. Rigg has observed, for example, that the Vox Clamantis "is the first substantial Anglo-Latin work in unrhymed elegiac couplets since Henry of Avranches [ fl. 1220-60 ]" - a comment that, depending upon one s opinion of Henry of Avranches, can betoken well or ill. Rigg does, in any case, suggest the extensive range of Gower s reading. Moreover, in his later years, as these shorter poems illustrate especially well, Gower initiated experiments with rhyme and the mixing of metrical forms within the same poem. While these clearly indicate a desire to achieve greater stylistic ornamentation, both nevertheless place demands upon his language, and occasionally force grammatical anomalies when a rhyme must be had. On the other hand, instances of the onomastic play, a earlier poetic choice which, in its way, too, favors formal panache over clarity of sense, are rarer in the minor poems than in the Vox Clamantis. In these shorter pieces ( much to the relief of some ) , Gower seems intent on different techniques. ISBN 9781580440974 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Gower's achievement in writing substantially in all three primary languages of his time-Anglo-French, English, and Latin-was a source of pride to others and, undoubtedly, to him too: into the final years of his life he continued to produce poetry in all three languages. Certainly there is reason to know these poems for the light they shed on the intense partisanship and events of great moment surrounding the usurpation 1399-1400. It was during these parlous times that Gower composed most of the poems included here. All are important documents historically; but they are also poems admirable equally for their skill and craft. In Praise of Peace is in the same position as the shorter Latin works edited and translated in this volume: ignored, neglected, reduced, or relegated to the dusty realm of footnotes. But there is far more at work in this complex poem, as Gower's verse deftly weaves in and out of the historical, political, social, and religious contexts and controversies of its day. In tone, In Praise of Peace is, if not triumphant, determinedly optimistic. In this light, we might view the poem as a coda to Gower's long career, restating and reinvigorating his famously moral principles about just rule of self and society. Gower's achievement in writing substantially in all three primary languages of his timeAnglo-French, English and Latinwas a source of pride to others and, undoubtedly, to him too: into the final years of his life he continued to produce poetry in all three languages.
