About
The John Gower Bibliography Online (JGBO) is a joint effort of the John Gower Society and The University of Texas at San Antonio Library. For questions, additions, suggestions, or corrections, please contact Mark Allen at mark.allen@utsa.edu.The JGBO was designed and made available in 2007 and is updated biannually when issues of the electronic John Gower Newsletter are published. The JGBO includes bibliographical information printed in The John Gower Newsletter (JGN and, later, eJGN), information compiled by Professor Peter Nicholson (abbreviated PN in individual entries) of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, covering the years 1980 to 2017. Many materials from before 1980 have been contributed by Conrad van Dijk (abbreviated CvD in individual entries) of Concordia University College in Edmonton, Alberta. Records marked [RFY1981] replicate or adapt, with permission, selections from Robert F. Yeager, John Gower Materials: A Bibliography Through 1979 (New York & London: Garland, 1981).
