Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

An introduction to Gower and his work, focusing on his sources,
historical context and literary tradition; special attention is
paid to Confessio Amantis. Chaucer, Gower and Lydgate were the
three poets of their time considered to have founded the English
poetic tradition. Gower, like Lydgate, eventually fell victim to
changing tastes but is now enjoying renewed scholarly
attention.Current work in manuscript studies, linguistic studies,
vernacularity, translation, politics, and the contexts of literary
production has found a rich source in Gower's trilingual, learned,
and politically engaged corpus. This Companion to Gower offers
essays by scholars from Britain and North America, covering Gower's
works in all three of his languages; they consider his
relationships to his literary sources, and to his social, material
and historical contexts; and they offer an overview of the
manuscript, linguistic, and editorial traditions. Five essays
concentrate specifically on the Confessio Amantis, Gower's major
Middle English work, reading it in terms of its relationship to
vernacular and classical models, its poetic style, and its
treatment of such themes as politics, kingship, gender, sexuality,
authority, authorship and self-governance. A reference
bibliography, arranged as a chronologyof criticism, concludes the
volume. Contributors J.A. BURROW, ARDIS BUTTERFIELD, NATHALIE
