However, an analysis of the changes that Gower made in the sources of fifteen tales from Books I and II of the 'Confessio' reveals that he consistently altered his sources in order to transform them into exempla of the Sins. But beyond adapting his source material as illustrations of vices and virtues, Gower's transformations are aimed at integrating the tales more subtly into the whole movement of the poem. This final transformation of his sources into a functioning part of the larger fiction marks the highpoint of Gower's art, for here he has not only transformed his sources, but he has also transformed the idea of 'ensamples' from isolated tales into integral parts of a complex work of art."

He discusses "Vox Clamantis," "Cronica Triptertita," and various stories from the "Confessio Amantis," arguing that they present "a dominant authorial persona whose poetics impose inventional control over the disparate narratives of history. Gower attempts to refigure his literary opus as a series of poetic 'res gestae,' transforming poetic works into events constitutive of English history in order to rejuvenate English culture. Chaucer's later poetry critiques Gower's poetics both directly and indirectly, destabilizing Gower's model without offering a suitable replacement" (quoted from Nowlin's Abstract).

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review "The present study examines the traditional figures of speech--metaphor, simile, personification, metonymy and synecdoche, and oxymoron, along with certain subcategories--in John Gower's 'Confessio Amantis.' Two chapters discuss the figures in some detail. They consider, as well, some important themes and tones in the 'Confessio' and the way in which Gower's figurative language either creates or emphasizes these themes. The core of the study, however, is provided by four appendices. Appendix A breaks the poem into its separate books and examines the occurrence of figurative language within the three main contexts: Amans, Genius, and Tales. The appendix offers both a line-count of figurative language and the percentages that these lines make up. Appendix B provides a visual representation of the information presented in Appendix A. In B the different contexts are represented by different colors of shading. By breaking the entire poem into ten-line segments and by charting how many lines in each segment are involved in figurative language, the chart vividly shows the peaks and valleys of figurativeness in the 'Confessio.' Appendix C examines one type of figure at a time. Again, breaking the poem into separate books and separate contexts, it lists the location of each figure of speech, its type, the "literal term" (what the poet is talking about, as nearly as it can be determined) and the 'figurative area' (the realm from which the poet has drawn his imagery for his figure of speech). Finally, Appendix D examines again the imagery content of Gower's figures, but from a different angle. Breaking down the figure by content rather than by type, the appendix makes certain patterns of occurrence more readily visible than they are in other appendices."

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Gower is one of three canonical authors (along with Chaucer and Langland) to receive his own chapter in this introduction to law and literature in medieval England. Yeager contrasts Gower's literary criticisms of the legal estate with his personal interactions with the law. He notes that the famous reference to Gower wearing "rayed sleeves" comes at the end of a section on friars and likely suggests "an ecclesiastical allusion, not a legal one" (149). Yeager further argues that when Chaucer made Gower his attorney in 1378, it may have been because of Gower's frequent buying and selling of property, "not unlike the way an experienced real-estate agent today understands the legal ins and outs of property purchases and sales" (153). Gower's involvement with the law is also seen in his detailed last will: "in 1408, when Gower died, written will were relatively unusual" (150). Nevertheless, Gower's criticism of legal practitioners suggests that he was not a lawyer himself (153). Yeager goes on to demonstrate that Gower's work presents a rich and varied treatment of legal themes. Gower has a broad understanding of the types of law, ranging from natural law and the law of charity to more concrete positive law. He also links the concept of justice with a constellation of similar virtues (equity, love, grace, mercy, pity, etc.). In fact, Gower's theological view of justice (which is separate from the law proper) is deeply Augustinian (155-56). It is also political, as Gower rebukes Richard II in the "Cronica Tripertita" for shaping the law to suit his own needs (156). By contrast, Henry IV is entirely associated with justice: "In the Cronica the most common adjectives describing Henry and each of his initial acts as new monarch are 'iustus' and 'pius'" (156). Despite his support for Henry IV, Gower is not an absolutist or monarchist. Neither is he strictly a parliamentarian or constitutionalist. Gower advocates for good counsel and he recognizes that the king's authority stems from the law, but he also maintains that only the king can "legitimate the law by ensuring its equitable application" (159).

Gower Subject Confessio Amantis Review As the title and its allusion to Jorge Luis Borges's short story "Funes the Memorious" makes clear, R.F. Yeager's essay takes as its focus the notion of memory and recollection, moving from the "Funes" to Boethius's "Consolatio" and Maximianus's "Elegies." Throughout, Yeager demonstrates how each of these texts--"Consolatio," "Confessio," "Elegies," and "Funes"--"have at their core the problem of time." (94) Whether the prodigious memory of Funes, the quest for eternity in Boethius, or the "steady lamentation" (94) of Maximianus's complaints of age-related impotence, these examples help clarify how Amans, a figure characterized by his lack of memory, is nevertheless a construct who reflects some of Gower's thinking about time. Yeager discusses the origins of the CA and its origin in a moment of time--in an apparently chance encounter between Gower and Richard II on the Thames--and the choice to write the CA in Middle English speak to Gower's "growing thoughtfulness about the nature and urgencies of time." (95) Contextualizing the CA as a book that, at least in its Ricardian recension, has this watery origin, Yeager then describes some of the beginning characteristics of the CA that encode the value of time and, specifically, the past in the "Prologue," including the "mutability of time" in the discussion of old books and the images from Nebuchadnezzar's Dream. What these elements suggest, then, according to Yeager, is an urge to confession and repentance in the present and to avoid pain and embrace peace by knowing the past, in light of the future which is ever approaching. The essay concludes by returning to "Funes" and reading Borges's short story alongside CA in order to parse out the importance of the "now" in Gower's conceptions of history, the past, and time. Remarking that Funes and his memory are ultimately about stasis and death, Yeager demonstrates that Amans's forgetting is not static, but about the "memory in process." Remembering, Yeager reminds the reader, is, for Gower, a moral act, a call in the now for repentance. [WR. Copyright.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review In this appreciative, even personal. essay, Yeager praises "Cinkante Balades" as "very fine art" and "finely crafted" (179), commending Gower's "very subtle work requiring poetic control and significant psychological acumen" (189). Yeager imagines a counterfactual "what-if" for English literary history, claiming that, had Gower chosen to write CB in English rather than in French, his "reputation would be far the better, and the history of English would have been written differently" (179) because CB is a "true poetic sequence" that uses "a lyric form to tell a story"--something not attempted in poetry in English until Philip Sidney's "Astrophel and Stella," two hundred years later. Yeager situates the writing of CB historically, showing that it was modeled on the very popular "Livre du Cent Ballades," analogous to Christine de Pizan's "Cent Ballades" in this respect, and influenced by Guillaume de Machaut's "Voir Dit" in others. The bulk of Yeager's essay, however, describes the aesthetic riches of CB--stanzaic structuring, narrative plotting, characterization, imagery, and manipulation of clichés--illustrated in large portion through close reading of two of the ballades, XLVI and XXXII, both of which show that "Gower's psychological insight is dead-on" (190), Yeager tells us, particularly in their subtle, delicate expression of the lovers' complex emotions and, in the Petrarchan mode, their anxious attitudes toward sexual relations. Speaking of XLVI in particular, Yeager says "This is poetry for grown-ups" (188); more generally, CB was written by a poet of superb skills and "artistic intelligence" (191), who, according to Yeager, "was never the prude modern critics have made him out to be" (186).

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review This essay explores the two fifteenth-century Iberian manuscripts of Gower's "Confessio Amantis," first detailing the twentieth-century discovery of the two manuscripts, and second, based upon peculiar physical elements and content of the manuscripts, proposing the possible identities and motivations of the Castilian and Portuguese patrons of the translations. Yeager begins by narrating the twentieth-century discovery of Escorial MS g.II.19 and Madrid MS Real Biblioteca II-3088. Gower links the impetus of the translations to John of Gaunt's invasion of Spain in 1386, the marriage of his elder daughter Philippa to king João I of Portugal in 1387, and the marriage of his daughter Katherine (Catalina) to prince Henry (Enrique) III, the son and heir of Juan I of Castile, in 1388. Yeager argues the Portuguese translation was most likely made for João I, given his (and his wife Philippa's) love of literature. The purpose of the Castilian translation, however, is not as clear. Yeager suggests these manuscript versions in particular would not have been meant for a royal personage, at least based upon the physical aspects of the manuscripts, given their plain and modest format and layout. Both of these manuscripts, Yeager suggests, represent "workaday versions" of the poem, which may be of particular scholarly interest since they "provide tangible evidence that the 'Confessio Amantis' was known, was read, and was in demand outside of the royal families, beyond Castile and Lisbon even to Africa, by lower-ranking Iberian readers in some numbers" (97). The essay concludes with a discussion of further avenues of research awaiting the study of these manuscripts, including the relationship between the CA and late medieval and early modern Iberian literary production, Philippa of Lancaster's possible connection to the Portuguese translation, and possible parallels between Gower's popularity in Iberia and that of Christine de Pizan, whose "Le Livre de trois virtues" was also translated into Portuguese.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Weiskott's project lacks neither ambition nor targets. As he sets it out in the Preface, "The goal is to think of English metrical traditions as themselves unfolding historical times, whose experiences initially bore no relation to the later historical accretions through which we inevitably conceptualize English poetics today, such as the canonization of Chaucer, the dominance of pentameter, the usurpation by English of the social and intellectual spaces of Latin, Enlightenment historiography, nationalism, the institution of English departments, and free verse" (xviii). To encompass all this, he identifies four "Ages": of Prophecy, Alliterative Meter, Tetrameter, and Pentameter. The first, as he says, "represents a genre" (197), the other three metrical traditions, and he argues for mapping all four across the literature of his chosen three hundred years as a fresh approach to marking the passage of time. Weiskott identifies Langland (who perfected alliterative verse) and Chaucer (who invented English pentameter) as "the two most prominent fourteenth-century English poets" (4), but he allows occasional spaces for Gower scattered throughout, primarily (and not surprisingly) in chapter 10, "Chaucer's English Metrical Phonology: Tetrameter to Pentameter." Weiskott avers that the Age of Tetrameter began in the thirteenth century, "under influence from French octosyllables and Latin accentual-syllabic tetrameter" (163), and in the fourteenth "appeared as the best alternative to alliterative meter for serious compositions" (74); hence Gower used it for the "Confessio," and Chaucer for the "Book of the Duchess," "Hous of Fame," and "Romaunt of the Rose." In this their practices followed "Francien preference": early on, "Chaucer deployed his French- and Italian-derived English verse forms according to French metrical decorum. (Gower observed the same decorum throughout his career, across English and French: tetrameter/octosyllables for the narrative "Confessio Amantis" and "Mirour de l'Omme," pentameter/decasyllables for the lyric "Cinkante Balades," "Confessio" 8.2217-300, "In Praise of Peace," and "Traitié pour les amantz marietz")" (175-76). Several of Weiskott's most interesting observations concerning Gower occur in the notes. Of particular interest in this regard is the comment (247-48, n. 13) that three lyric styles that he, following Martin Duffell, identifies as exclusively Chaucerian and Italian, Gower also employs in the "Cinkante Balades." Similarly: pentameter being for Weiskott the badge of modernity, he would on metrical grounds "expand" claims for Chaucer's modernity made (for other reasons) by A. C. Spearing "to cover Gower, Clanvowe, Walton" and several others (253, n. 49); and (251, n. 52) he reflects on uses of "poete/poetical/poesie/poetrie" in Chaucer and Gower, in whose work the first two don't appear, and the second pair, with the exception of Venus' reference to Chaucer, alludes "exclusively to Ovid." His final Gower-related observation is to Quixley's fifteenth-century translation of the "Traitié" into Yorkshire English, arguing, following Yeager, that its unique production outside of the London ambit (albeit with probable Augustinian connections with St. Mary Overye) underscores how localized the work of Chaucer, Gower, and the rest were (183-84).

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Warren takes an ecocritical approach, seeking "a full exploration of how and why birds mattered in a range of poetic texts from across the Middle Ages"(3), those texts being "The Seafarer," Exeter Book riddles, "The Owl and the Nightingale," "The Parlement of Foules," and the "Confessio Amantis." The latter occupies chapter 5, "Birds' Form: Enabling Desire and Identities in 'Confessio Amantis'" (179-217). His professed concerns lie less with examining birds as emblems or metaphors--the more usual approach to the subject--than with demonstrating that "the sources available to us insist on a more complex history, in which the multitude of native birds observable in England's habitats registered meaningfully in human experiences" (5)--particularly and pointedly in Gower's eyes. Warren finds the "Tale of Tereus" (CA V. 5551-6047) apt ground to illustrate a kind of "hybridity" that he identifies as a characteristically Gowerian gesture, in which birds and humans evince commingled aetiologies, sharply observed: "Ovid's Philomela merely flies to the forest . . . but Gower's is an overtly named species whose habitat, seasonal habits, mellifluous song and elusive nature are described at length" (215). Essentially, following part way Diane Watt and Hugh White, Warren reads the moral lessons of the CA as ambiguous, and building upon those arguments finds in "Tereus" and the poem generally evidence to identify a middle space between simply animal and simply human, one "suggestive and revealing, not simply derogatory and detestable" (202). Ultimately, "Gower's avian-human conformations most overtly demonstrate that medieval conceptions of, and interactions with, the natural world could engage the nonhuman in human interests in ways that accentuate the desirable or necessary presence of the nonhuman" (222).

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Taylor's primary focus in "The Motives of Reeds" is Chaucer, particularly the Wife of Bath's invocation of the story of Midas in her prologue. The story of Midas--and the broader network of invocations of Midas--provides a means to explore Chaucer's relationship to the classical tradition as a vernacular poet; Taylor is especially interested in the story's implications for understanding Chaucer's notion of "translatio auctoritatis" in relation to Ovid. After an overview of the Ovidian version of the Midas story, Taylor examines medieval receptions of Midas in Gower, Machaut, and Jean de Meun. For Ovid, artistic self-consciousness is key to the narrative; Midas gets his infamous ears as a punishment for judging against Apollo in a piping competition, and when Midas's servant whispers this truth into the marshy ground, it is the reeds that grow there that make the story public. Thus, the story--and its transmission--draw attention to the challenges of speakers and hearers in oral and aural transmission: the audience and the speaker often take away different meanings. Chaucer's changes to this tale, making the barber/servant into Midas's wife, is often used to position the Wife of Bath as a bad reader; however, reading this version of Midas alongside others suggests alternative possibilities. Gower tells of Midas and the famous golden touch, but he ends his version not with Midas the fool, as in the "Ovide Moralisé," but with a reasonable Midas tempted by gold but in the end repentant. Gower thus loosens the hold of the commentaries on this narrative interpretation, engaging in a long tradition of discursive appropriation. From here, Taylor moves to Machaut, whose Midas is linked to Paris as a figure of poor judgment, particularly literary judgment, who favors the wrong kind of vernacular poetry. Chaucer, like Gower, truncates his source's ending, with no reeds spreading the word. Thus, Taylor suggests, the point of Chaucer's references to Ovid is in fact to see transmission and its differences, thus pointing to the fiction of transmission of "The Canterbury Tales" itself and, further, to the tribulations of hearing and mishearing.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Swenson's chapter works to bridge animal studies and disability studies, two theoretical approaches that are often seen as at odds, given the historical conflation between the disabled body and the animal body as a means to discriminate against disabled bodies--that is, both have often been read as below acceptable norms of full humanity. Swenson reads a similar logic at work in Gower's "Vox Clamantis," particularly the "Visio Anglie," where hierarchies of human value assume the conflation of nobility and ability, most especially in the "Visio"'s presentation of peasants as "beasts irrational." Careful attention to Gower's conflation of these categories, then, points to the needs to attend to nonlinguistic bodies differently. For Gower, the natural order encodes also human hierarchies, along with that of human over animal. Only nobility are fully human in Gower's reckoning, with the commons introduced as "uncounted monsters" even before any physical transformation occurs. The "Visio" oscillates between human and animal, a feature typical of many representations of individuals with cognitive disabilities. Yet in calling readers to behold the peasants/animals who seek acceptance of their humanity, Gower introduces the possibility that this representation may shock readers into seeing new ways of being. Though the "Visio"'s animals are, with one exception, nonlinguistic, it is clear to the narrator that their din means something, and thus his attempts to listen (as well as the reader's) makes space for alternative embodied rhetorics. Thus, Swenson argues, despite Gower's conservative views and class allegiances, the "Visio" provides a perhaps surprising model for both disability and animal studies. [KMcS. Copyright.

As his title suggests, his focus is England, although with detours into the tradition as it developed in France. Thomas of Kent--about whom nothing is known--wrote the Anglo-Norman "Roman de toute chevalerie" in the 1170s. While there are strong suggestions that the poem had a wide audience both insular and continental, only three manuscripts survive, are later (mid-thirteenth and two fourteenth), and all present significant textual challenges. "Gower . . . considered the [poem] still to be an authoritative source-text on Alexander, one that might be read as a narrative reflective of the dangers that threaten to undermine any king's reign, and an attractive Anglo-Norman Alexander romance in the face of three centuries of French competition" (172). From Thomas Gower borrowed into the CA the narratives of Nectanabus (VI.1789-2366), Diogenes (III. 1201-1330), the pirate (III. 2363-437), and Dindimus (V. 1453-96). Stone argues that Gower found Alexander to be "a criminal who is justly killed for his misdeeds"--allowing his desire for conquest and glory to drive him into endless wars (180). In this view Gower seems to concur with the scribe/commentator of Durham, Cathedral Library, MS C.IV.27B, copied ca. 1350. Stone does not claim, however, that this manuscript was Gower's source.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Speed offers in this essay a clear and flexible commentary on CA that might well find its way into a critical anthology intended for collegiate use. She treats CA in as an example of the "counter-Virgilian tradition" (381) of the "translatio imperii" from Troy to London (by way of Rome), and she contrasts the heroic-epic destiny in Virgil's "Aeneid" with the emphasis on "human decision-making" (390) in works about Troy by Ovid, Guido delle Colonne, Benoît de Sainte-Maure, and Gower. The Virgilian / "counter-Virgilian" distinction is not new, nor are the lineaments of the transmission of the story summarized here, but, after noting Gower's concern with Troy in "Vox Clamantis" and "Cronica Tripertita," Speed sharpens awareness of the fundamental importance of Trojan material for the CA, thematically and structurally, charting the twenty Trojan narratives of the work and their sources (none of them directly Virgilian), observing that the twenty "represent over one-fifth of the tales by volume" of the work, along with additional "brief exemplary allusions in the frame story" (385) and other allusions and references. This demonstration of the quantity of Trojan material in CA is matched by the quality of Speed's discussions of selected paired Trojan tales and paired Trojan characters, showing, for example, that the content of the "second and second-last" of Gower's Trojan tales ("The Trojan Horse" and "Paris and Helen," both from Benoît) "self-evidently frames the legendary context for all the others, and their positioning arguably constructs an unavoidable discursive significance for all" (385). Speed does not say that focus on Trojan political "treachery and folly" (387) obviates the penitential concerns of Gower's frame narrative--hypocrisy in the Horse narrative or sacrilege when Paris and Helen meet in a temple--but that "counter-Virgilian" politics are never far away from the personal concerns, layering and analogizing political and penitential themes. In similar fashion, the "prominence" of Achilles and Ulysses, as opposed to Aeneas, in CA "works against any possibility of glamourizing Troy" or Virgil's hero (388) while keeping in focus the importance of the legend of Troy as a political antecedent to Gower's contemporary London. Moreover, the original Prologue to the CA and its revised version, Speed shows, as well as its original and revised conclusions, combine poetic and political awareness, evincing the importance of the "myth of Troy" for Gower and for English poetry as well as for the nation of England--"translatio studii et imperii" (392).

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review For Sklar, Book V of Gower's "Confessio"--focusing on the sin of avarice--is foundational to the complexities of Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice." First, how do we interpret the conflicted figure of Bassanio, who is both a spendthrift courting an heiress for her money, and "a romantic hero . . . capable of inspiring love" (500)? The contradiction is resolved in Bassanio's comparison of his beloved to the "golden fleece," making this the only Shakespeare play that refers to Jason and his quest. In the medieval mythographic tradition, Jason is both "admired for his valor," and condemned as a deceiver in love, just as Bassanio wins the lady, but breaks his word never to part with her ring (501). Book V of CA, which was known to Shakespeare, is a network of prototypes for the characters and themes of "The Merchant." Gower presents "two versions of the casket motif . . . [with] striking thematic and verbal parallels" to the play, as Genius's instruction on the arbitrary fortunes of love--"every mon mot take his chance" (2260), is followed by Portia's "You must take your chance" (II.1.44). For both poets, this "chance" may not reward the most deserving (503). A larger theme of Book V is "covetousness in love . . . a confusion in the mind of the lover between true emotion and love of money" (504-05). This "confusion" explains not only the mercenary goal of Bassanio's courtship, but the tendency of most Venetians to describe their deepest affections in monetary terms, not limited to Shylock's outcry "My daughter! My ducats!" (505). In CA, Jason's sin of avarice in love is perjury, a defective oath, a stratagem endemic to the culture of self-interest in Shakespeare's Venice (also his England?), and exposing the "double nature" of Bassanio (506-07).

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review In this article Kreg Segall focuses exclusively on Gower's choric role in "Pericles." His Gower here is Shakespeare's Gower. Segall argues that in the play Gower is "highly aware of his textual status" (248) which is "marginal-yet-mediating" (248). Segall explores the ways this textual awareness, sometimes evident in moments when Gower distances himself from the story, conveys an uneasiness about the incest theme that "underscores the prime anxiety of the play--the fear of becoming too intimate" (249). Throughout the play Gower tries "to redefine his choric position away from paternal author-figure" (250). Unlike Antiochus, whose incestuous desire seeks complete control of his daughter, Gower, who sometimes appears as author/father of the text, at times also appears to release this role and "drop the responsibility for narrative coherence onto the actors and the audience" (252). Gower, in other words, distances himself from Antiochus by distancing himself from his text. Pericles in turn learns to negotiate intimacy with his daughter in non-incestuous ways through his relationship with his retainer Helicanus. The article also draws a compelling parallel between releasing authorial control over a text and death or "Gower's desire to die away at the appropriate time" (261), as Segall puts it. While an in-depth analysis of the ways in which Shakespeare's Gower echoes writer John Gower's own authorial explorations may have been, understandably, beyond the scope of the article, one wishes Segall had gestured toward such echoes.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Reid "reconsiders a selection of Shakespearean moments that have been widely classified in contemporary scholarship as 'Ovidian'" in order to uncover "the under-acknowledged, spectral presence of the medieval in the making of such moments" (2). "It is," she asserts, "often a transhistorical, polyvocal, and multilingual conglomerate of intertexts that coalesce to form an 'Ovidian' allusion in Shakespeare's works" (4). Gower figures large in her study, throughout. Chapter 1 presents a close reading of the seventeenth-century "Chaucer's Ghoast," whence she derives a central sense of the "ambiguities of 'antiquity' in early modern usage, drawing attention to the profound intersections between the Ovidian, the Chaucerian, and the Gowerian" (6). Chapter 2 is part "reviewing and contrasting the various states of Shakespeare-and-Ovid, Shakespeare-and-Chaucer, and Shakespeare-and-Gower scholarship" (7). The focus of chapter 3 is "the medieval resonances of an 'Ovidian' reference to Ariadne in 'The Two Gentlemen of Verona'" which she traces to Chaucer and Gower (7). Chapter 5 argues that "the 'Ovidian' references to Narcissus evident in the interactions between Olivia and Viola in "Twelfth Night" build not only upon the "Metamorphoses"' Latin account of the youth's self-infatuation, but also upon a strikingly different tradition (featuring a heterosexual rather than a homosexual Narcissus) that seems to have first entered English literary tradition by way of Gower's 'Confessio Amantis'" (7).

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review This article makes a fairly complicated case for the relationship between the traditionalist ideologies of Gower and the 1381 rebels, focusing on Gower's use of Ovid in his description of the revolt. Starting from the observation of a "near-consensus that Gower's use of Ovidian myths and elegy disconnects Gower from the rebels" (34), Ni argues that Gower actually shares with the rebels and idealization of the past. She notes the apocalypticism implied by the rebels' reliance on the eschatological fantasy of the Domesday Book, and contrasts that to the more visionary apocalyptism of "Gower's narrative of metamorphosis" (37). This leads Ni to attribute to Gower "a flexible view of history that stood in stark contrast to the rebels' romanticization of the past" (38). By adapting Ovid, whom Gower associates with change, she shows how verse "can be made to suit different historical settings" (39). This malleable quality of poetry, which can be borrowed, adapted, and changed for different purposes, then contrasts to the way the rebels hoped to use the Domesday book as an inviolable record that "cannot be changed" (39). Ni goes on to examine the use of monstrous imagery from Ovid, such as the role of Hecuba, the Calydonian boar, or a storm at sea. With Hecuba, for example, Gower alludes to her transformation from a human form in "Metamorphosis" 13, with the transformations of the rebels in his vision; this potentially "changes the rebels into transformed victims and righteous avengers" (41). Ni does not argue that this potential sympathy with the rebels adds up to redemption for them, but that they might not have been completely in the wrong. Similarly, with the Calydonian boar, by associating the boar with Wat Tyler, "Ovid's layered allusions to the death of Hector enrich Gower's references to the murder of Wat Tyler" (42). This allusion then gives Tyler some heroic qualities, while still retaining the image of his ultimate defeat. Ni further argues that Gower's use of Ovid allows Gower to "acknowledge. . . the 'collective guilt' of society" (46), and contrast the "Edenic and the Apocalyptic" (47). Through Gower's use of the Phaeton story here, so that the image of the chariot ultimately bridges the gap between beginnings and endings. In the end, Ni argues that Gower is combining three methods: distancing himself from the rebels' use of the past, shifting perspectives to cycle through alternative visions of history to address "collective guilt" (53), and blurring the distinction between the Edenic and Apocalyptic to deny the possibility of returning to the past. He concludes that "These techniques cannot reveal their significance unless the rebels' tactic of "making Britain great again" is read against Gower's affirmation of historical flexibility" (53). Overall Ni offers a fairly complicated argument (to which this brief summary probably has not done justice), depending on close readings of the "Visio" against a portion of its Ovidian allusions. It treads a careful line by suggesting Gower's limited sympathy with the rebels, given that most readers see his position on the rebels as more negative, but makes a provocative case overall. Certainly any reader concerned with Gower's interaction with Ovid should find this interesting. [RAL. Copyright. The John Gower Society. eJGN 40.2.] Author/Editor Author/Editor Ni, Yun.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Newlin is exclusively concerned with Gower the character in Shakespeare's "Pericles." "Pericles," he argues, is a kind of sequel to "The Merchant of Venice," with Gower's speeches offering "not only a manual of sorts" for reading both plays, but a "frame . . . for reading any" Shakespeare play (111). Newlin starts off by addressing the perennial view of a literary text as a box with an inside and an outside, a form and a meaning--or is it the other way around? As a basis for reading a text, this image lends itself to an endless succession of readings, each "itself a new text to be read . . . [never] finished"(109), with language itself exposed as "open-ended . . . aporetic" (114). In "The Merchant of Venice," Shakespeare addressed this "unceasing deconstruction" (111) through the Christian interpretive device of allegory by figuration, for example, by repeating the equation of Portia/Balthasar with the Old Testament figure of Daniel (120). Like caskets, women, and gold, textual "meaning" itself has a monetary value defined by the Christian patriarch, and all are objects of exchange (118). "Recalling "Merchant'"s many prefigurations . . . the central structural device that drives "Pericles" is its repetitions" (123). This device is not limited to the recurrences driving its tripartite plot, but includes verbal repetitions often ascribed to textual corruption, but more likely "genetic" and "intentional" (124, 125). Passages of bad writing, "weak text," may also be strategic in their "literary power" (122). It is the choric Gower, especially in his closing speech, who explains how a dubious ancient text may be read as "evermore" providing "new joy," with no final "ending," as author and new readers collaborate to make this "our play" (126). Thus, today, Shakespeare's text can be liberated from a "heterosexist" reading (217). [LBB. Copyright. The John Gower Society. eJGN 40.2.] Author/Editor Author/Editor Newlin, James.

Mooney sketches a possible biography for Pinkhurst, based in considerable part on the evidence of his hand in records of the Guildhall, arguing that the scribe had lengthy association with Chaucer and a close working relationship, with implications for the text and dating of several of Chaucer's works. Since publication of the essay, scholars have debated details of Mooney's argument and her methodology, but her account of Chaucer and "his scribe" has become the prevailing orthodoxy of Chaucer studies and has had huge impact on late-medieval English paleography and manuscript study. This is not the place to evaluate that orthodoxy, but I do think it worthwhile--even fifteen years after the publication of this essay--to note that at least one of Mooney's suggestions beyond the identification of Scribe B as Pinkhurst has implications for Gower studies. Specifically, she suggests that Scribe D, working with and supervising Scribe B (Pinkhurst), Scribe E (Thomas Hoccleve), and "two other London scribes" (A and C) to produce Trinity MS R.3.2 after Gower's death, did so "to preserve a reliable exemplar?" (122; question mark in original). She adds that "[w]e thus see these trusted scribes [Pinkhurst and Scribe D] continuing after the authors' [Chaucer's and Gower's] deaths to exercise control over the quality of exemplars distributed for further dissemination of Middle English texts" (122-23)--anticipating aspects of Mooney's later study (with Estelle Stubbs), "The Scribes and the City" (2013), where Scribe D is identified tentatively as John Marchaunt.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review McKinley opens her essay by surveying the paucity of Ovidian references and allusions in Middle English poetry, apart from works by Gower and Chaucer, describing the pair as the "most Ovidian of the Middle English poets" and setting out to explore the "nature of the two poets' relative Ovidianisms." For both, Ovid "was the classical poet par excellence" (198), although their emphases differ, McKinley tells us initially, offering a familiar, even traditional summary: "If for Gower Ovid is useful in constructing an ideal world--a coherent, but highly stratified mundus of political, ethical and theological dimensions--for Chaucer Ovid is useful in exploring the larger, often open-ended, moral and ethical questions one should ask while making one's way through a rather less clearly delineated world" (198-99). For most of her essay, however, McKinley steers in a somewhat different direction, focusing on instances where, she argues, Gower and Chaucer use a range of Ovidian sources in diverse, even "startling" (230) ways. She offers four extended examples; Gower's incorporation of lines from Ovid into his own Latin in VC Book 1, comparison of Gower's and Chaucer's versions of the Pyramus and Thisbe stories in CA Book 5 and "The Legend of Good Women," their versions of Theseus/Ariadne material in the same works, and Chaucer's adaptation of Ovid in his "Manciple's Tale," with a nod to Gower's version in CA Book 3. Throughout, McKinley emphasizes the work that Ovid does for Gower and Chaucer even when they use Latin school texts, translations, and moralizations as their sources, often in complicated combinations, modified by the overarching contexts of the poets' medieval larger narratives. In VC 1.2021–50, Gower cherry picks ten lines directly from Ovid and uses them so that "Ovid is made a proponent of the virtues of self-mastery," of "ratio" over "amor," in a "startling reversal" of the Roman poet's original (206). In the cases of the Thisbe/Pyramus and the Ariadne/Theseus accounts, McKinley's comparisons lead her to observe how and where the medieval poets adjust the Ovidian materials to fit their own concerns: Gower, the "principles of self-restraint and oath-keeping" (230); Chaucer, the ironic, even comic or bathetic potential of love tragedy. The modification of Ovidian details and emphases in the "Manciple's Tale" and its juxtaposition with the "Parson's Tale," McKinley argues, "opens up a new vein of exploration in the poem: the analysis of intention in relation to sin." In this instance, Chaucer is more the moralizing poet than is Gower, and so a particularly surprising example, it seems, of the "extraordinary creativity" of the poets' in their "'glosynge' of Ovid" (230).

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review The volume in which this essay appears is devoted to medieval and Early Modern authors' engagement with Ovid's version of Iphis and Ianthe, and Lochrie's is the only essay that treats Gower's use of the tale. Lochrie argues that Gower's version is "a tale that, in refusing to solve its riddles or provide the interpretive wherewithal of its gloss, creates the possibility for another kind of change--a metamorphosis, if you will, in the very moral and epistemological rubrics with which we read gender, sex and bodies" (93-94). Lochrie begins by exploring the "riddles" in Ovid's version, primarily that Iphis's embodiment as a man solves the "monstrous" riddle of love reflected in the same-sex relationship of Iphis and Ianthe. Turning to Gower's retelling of the tale, Lochrie suggests Ovid's riddles are replaced with a set of riddles defined by ambiguity and which frustrate the reader's attempts at certainty and resolution, which itself embodies the queer politics of the story. For example, when Gower's couple "use / Thing which to hem was al unknowe) (4.486-7), Lochrie considers the linguistic ambiguity of what that "thing" may be (from a reference to practice--to do things or engage in an activity--to a physical object or prosthetic phallus). Gower, Lochrie posits, "opens up a space of opaqueness courtesy of Nature and the desires of Iphis and Iante--a space that seems deliberately resistant to sexual epistemology" (86). Lochrie then turns to an exploration of the Latin gloss located at the beginning of the tale, and its "deliberate misprision of the Middle English story" (88). For Lochrie, Ovid's conundrum about how two women can physically love each other is replaced, in Gower, with a "more shadowy riddle about the position this physical love between women occupies with respect to nature" (90). This essay analyses the complicated and conflicting nonheteronormative aspects of Gower's tale. The collection in which this appears also includes, in Appendix B (286-8), Lochrie's translation of Gower's tale, which will undoubtedly contribute to greater inclusion of Gower's version in courses in which ME is not required and in courses more widely devoted to gender and sexuality.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Though this article ostensibly focuses primarily on William Langland, the fact that Lee's analysis of Langland's relationship to the concept of war relies on comparison to John Gower's position on war makes this article at least marginally relevant to Gower studies. There is a companion article that lays out his position on Gower more thoroughly, as well, from the same year in the Korean "Journal of English Language and Literature." Noting the ubiquity of war in the fourteenth century, Lee particularly focuses on the potential discord between the violence of war, and Christian ethics. He argues that Gower and Langland were not entirely pacifists, but that they did justify some warfare for "the protection of state and church and the settlement of order" (116). He largely focuses here on Langland's limited justification of crusade through the notion of "salvation for the heathens." (116). He argues that, like Gower, Langland argues for some military action as part of the responsibilities of an ideal king. He cites Gower's criticism of the Norwich Crusade of 1383 in the "Vox Clamantis," comparing to passages in the B-text that seem similarly critical of a crusading impulse. He sees Langland's position as more opposed to clerical support of war than Gower's. Noting the extent of Piers Plowman's description of Trajan's salvation and the broader question of salvation for non-Christians, Lee sees room in Langland's broader anti-war position for some crusading impulse. He also points out that knights in the poem have a role in law and order, and protecting the church (123). He contrasts Langland's position on war to Gower's: "however, unlike Gower's aggressive and active attitude in applying the just cause to regaining the rights and restoring peace, Langland's notion of justice, it seems, lies only in the least defense for the preservation of life and property, not in the plundering of other territories and properties" (127). Lee goes on to examine the Meed sequence and its critique of the war in Normandy, thus critiquing the association of war and profit in the late fourteenth century. He concludes, "war, in both Langland's and Gower's view, was not wrong when used for legitimate ends, for example, for the defense of men's rights and for the maintenance of men's truth and common good, nor when it was initiated and controlled by a king who is equipped with Christian values" (132). Overall he provides a reasonable reading of "Piers Plowman," with some attention to the distinctions between versions. Unfortunately this article suffers somewhat from being separated from its other half--publishing an extended comparison of two authors in articles in different journals makes it hard for a reader to digest the full ramifications of the comparison.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Peter Holland is well-known for his interests in Shakespeare and drama in performance, and both are reflected here. This essay is largely concerned with "Pericles" as a play--a drama--made of narrative source-materials, mentioning in swift passing Gower's "Tale of Apollonius" among these materials. Holland gives little particular attention to specifics of Gower's and other narrative versions, focusing instead on emphases rendered in the transition (or "journeying") between literary forms, arguing that "Pericles" itself "is a journey across the mapping of narrative represented by the Apollonian story . . . [in] all its manifestations" (25). The story was widely known to the audience of "Pericles," but its presentation as drama was new and unknown, Holland tells us, perhaps even a little "dangerous," aligning the artistic experiment with action of the play, and suggesting that the non-traditional name "Pericles" is a version of Latin "periculum." Early modern navigational techniques, geographical dislocations in the play, repetitive structuring, and "Gower's choruses" are recurrent concerns in this essay, with the choruses "acting as dramatic stitching to make the drama a web of lines radiating across the map of the Apollonius narrative like the lines on the early charts that link harbours and headlands" (26).

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review This article offers a helpful comparison of literary condemnations of bribery by John Gower, William Langland, and others with what can be known about real cases of bribery from laws against it, actual prosecutions under the laws, and contemporary letters (chiefly the Pastons') showing the attitudes of litigants toward the need for bribery to achieve success in their cases. For Gowerians, the part on "Moral Arguments against Bribery" includes the passage from the "Confessio Amantis" where the chaplain of Venus tells Amans about the court of Lady Avarice with her servant Covoitise and his procurers Falswitnesse and Perjurie. Hole also describes how "Mirour de l'Omme" includes Lady Avarice's daughter Covetousness who bribes jurors and judges with silver and gold. In another passage, Gower accuses judges of being influenced by a letter from a great lord to go against justice. In "Different Forms of Bribery" Hole tells how in "Mirour de l'Homme" [sic] Gower described sheriffs being bribed to manipulate trials; he also said sheriffs might take money from both sides in a trial. Jurors were reported to be influenced by corrupt foremen. However, Hole expresses doubt whether Gower's claim to know a false juror who supported himself and his household from bribes was literally true or only an exemplum. Hole then moves on to real-life cases, and concludes from these that there "could be some truth" in Gower's claim that there were people who could make a living off bribery. Bribery arose because some legal personnel were underpaid--citing Gower's contempt for apprentice lawyers who learned to take their "hound's reward"--and because, pragmatically, many litigants felt bribery was unavoidable to compete against rivals who used it.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review In a section on Shakespeare's "Pericles," this article has extended analysis of Gower's reception in early modern English print and drama, with little on the CA per se. Gieske refrains from enumerating Shakespeare's "direct debts" to Chaucer and Gower at the verbal level, focusing rather on the "structural and narratological . . . the ways Shakespeare's post-1600 plays react to medieval antecedents as they experiment with alternative principles of construction" (85). His approach engages not only with the medieval sources, but with "Renaissance" Chaucer and Gower as Shakespeare would have known them in print (85, 95). Three plays are chosen for analysis: "Troilus and Cressida," the "kaledeidoscopic . . . chaotically structured" "Pericles" (86, 87), and "The Two Noble Kinsmen." The "capaciousness" of "Pericles" is prefigured in Robert Greene's "Vision" of 1592, where the sleeping poet is visited from beyond the grave by Chaucer and Gower. The "merry"-appearing Chaucer speaks for literature valued as "solaas," while the stern, Cato-like Gower makes the case for moral "sentence," with Gower preferred by the dreamer (96, 97). Both "ancient" poets defend their perspective by producing a sample poem, with an "adaptation" of the Confessio's "Apollonius narrative" voiced by Gower (101). A slightly different, equally prestigious "Renaissance Gower" is found in the Preface to Berthelette's 1532 edition of the CA, where Berthelette promotes the poem as "pleasant" and "easy," but also having "great auctorite perswadynge unto vertue" (99-100). Shakespeare's Gower "diverges" from the "dour moralist" of Greene's "Vision" (100), but more importantly, Shakespeare uses the "cultural capital" (99) of Gower's early modern reputation to authorize an experimental new dramatic genre prefigured in The Tale of Apollonius. The playwright "redeploy[ed] . . . vast ranges of time and space . . . [blending] the resources of capacious medieval narrative" with contemporary stage presentation (101,102). [LBB. Copyright.
