Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Macaulay opens his biographical account of Gower's life and oeuvre by situating him within the history of vernacular English. Whereas it was above all Chaucer who reconciled the English language with French tastes, Gower also had some small part to play. Since Chaucer's wide reading of continental literature can hardly be regarded as typical, the "normal development of English literature in its progress towards general acceptance" can better be illustrated by Gower, "though he is a man of talent only, not of genius" (134). Macaulay provides a brief biography of Gower's life, during which he argues that there is insufficient evidence of a quarrel with Chaucer. He further suggests that the development of Gower's political opinions may best be traced in his writing. Of note is Gower's revision of Book 6 of the VC to put more blame on Richard II. In the recensions of the CA we also gradually witness Gower become "more and more embittered" (137) with Richard's self-indulgence and arbitrary rule. Finally, the CrT brings new hope in the person of Henry IV. The longest part of Macaulay's essay introduces Gower's three major works and their literary, as opposed to didactic, qualities. The MO, first of all, describes the virtues and vices "to such inordinate length that the effect of unity is almost completely lost, and the book becomes tiresome to read" (141). After noting some redeeming features, and providing a brief description of Gower's French verse style, Macaulay argues that the most valuable part of the MO consists of the review of the various classes of society. Similarly, the most interesting part of the VC is the description of the Peasants Revolt, even though this portion (the Visio) may have been added to the manuscript as "an afterthought" (144). The VC develops the doctrine of man as microcosm introduced in the MO, and dwells in more detail on contemporary politics. When it comes to language and meter, Gower's practice of borrowing couplets and longer passages from other authors means that "we must be cautious in giving him credit for any particular passage" (144). Next, Macaulay suggests that Gower's decision to write the CA may have been caused not necessarily by the meeting with Richard on the Thames, but also by the stimulus of Chaucer's recent work in the vernacular. Macaulay denies the influence of Gower's work on The Legend of Good Women and posits that the opposite is rather true. The most noteworthy aspect of the CA is its partial renunciation of didacticism. However, the unity of the CA is marred by a series of unnecessary digressions, the most egregious being the interpolation of Book 7. Another blemish is Genius's awkward characterization as both moralist and the high-priest of love. After a discussion of Gower's sources and their adaptation, as well as praise for the "taste for simplicity" (152) evident in Gower's poetical style, Macaulay concludes with a brief appraisal of the minor works.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Hamilton agrees with Macaulay that earlier critics from Warton onward wrongly assumed that Book 7 of the CA is by and large a borrowing from the Secretum Secretorum (SS). However, he argues that Macaulay restricts Gower's indebtedness too much by only looking at the Latin original of the SS. According to Hamilton, Gower also uses a French translation by Jofroi de Watreford. This text was translated into English by James Yonge in 1422, and Hamilton shows how close Gower is to both by comparing the various versions of the tale of Cambyses. Yet, Gower sometimes uses multiple texts as sources. For example, the section of Book 7 that Peck's edition entitles "Triumph, Humility, and the Roman Emperors" borrows the name of the hostile people "Dorence," and the reference to the god Apollo from some collection of exempla, whereas he uses Jofroi for details such as the citation of his sources (333). Similarly, the description of the nobility of the lion (7.3387-99) is borrowed partially from Jofroi and partially from Brunetto Latini. Gower further relies on Jofroi for the information about the four complexions of man and for the story of Diogenes and Aristippus. Even Gower's biblical stories "were suggested in their due category to Gower by his French source" (15). At other times Gower and Jofroi share the same source, as in the moralization on Alexander (CA 3.2438-80), which ultimately stems from the Disciplina Clericalis of Petrus Alphonsus (338). Yet, in at least one respect Gower parts way with Jofroi. Gower does not agree that the scientific discourse of the original Latin SS lacks authority and is false (341). In fact, Gower uses other sources (like Brunetto Latini and Martianus Capella) to expand his discussion of the influence of the planets.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Chapter 3, "The Element of Love in Gower's Works" (38-90), examines aspects of courtly love in Gower's works. Dodd opens with a brief description of the CB, which he divides into two sections: ballads 1-5 which represent the happiness of the accepted lover, and ballads 6-51, which are universal in character and treat the feelings of lovers in general, "whether the course of their love runs smooth or not" (39). After providing further subdivisions, Dodd observes that although the ballads are often rather lifeless and conventional, they demonstrate the poet's ability to rival his French contemporaries in expressing the ideas of courtly love with grace and elegance. The rest of the chapter focuses primarily on the CA. Dodd notes the variety of influences on the CA, including confessional manuals, dream visions, works of courtly love, and sermon exempla. This mixture is also evident in the treatment of love, which not only takes on an ecclesiastical character, but also has feudal aspects, something especially evident in all the references to the "court" of Venus and Cupid (see the quotations on 47-49). The power and fickleness of these deities of love are also extensively illustrated by Dodd, and the conventionality of their characterization is stressed throughout. Other conventional themes that are discussed are secrecy, the figure of the lady, unrequited love, the allegorical figure Danger, and the ennobling effects of love (54-62). The next portion of Dodd's chapter examines the Seven Deadly Sins to see whether Gower successfully synthesizes his theological concerns with the religion of love (62-75). Dodd feels that Gower generally creates a sense of harmony between the two systems. For instance, the vices of supplantation and slander are expressly forbidden in Andreas Capellanus's code of love. On the other hand, Dodd does find some moments of discord. When Genius condemns fear and forgetfulness on the part of the lover he departs from courtly conceptions. Likewise, his assertion that Love detests jealousy and his opposition to love-drunkenness is quite uncharacteristic of the tradition of courtly love. Lastly, the treatment of chastity in Book 7 and the condemnation of incest in Book 8 have "nothing to do with the lover's shrift" (74), but are rather tied to the affairs of church (incest) and state (the advice on chastity is offered to Richard II). Next, Dodd returns to the enumeration of courtly love conventions in the CA, including the description of the effects of love upon the feelings, and the rhetorical use of contradictions (something also evident in the minor poem "Carmen de variis in amore passionibus breviter compilatum"). The question Dodd ends with is whether there is anything in the CA which "lifts it above mere conventionality" (80). The answer, for Dodd, is in the affirmative, not only because Gower's exempla are well-told, but also because the characterization of the lover and the lady lacks all extravagance and idealization, and is instead sensible, homely, and treated with "practical common sense" (81). However, despite the sympathetic treatment of love (visible for instance in the tale of "Canace and Machaire"), Gower ultimately dissociates himself from courtly love, and in the Traitié even condemns it.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Lowes argues that the fourth canto of Book 1 of Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queen – with its description of the progress of Pride and the other Deadly Sins – is extensively indebted to the description of the marriage of Pride and the World in Gower's MO. Most obviously, each sin rides on a symbolic animal, carries an appropriate object in its hand, and is associated with a specific malady (389). Lowes admits that there are differences in, for example, the sex of the sins, and the order in which they appear. Moreover, there are only four beasts that are used by both authors (and only 2 of those for the same sin), only three maladies that are common to both (and none is used for the same sin), and the actual objects that are carried are quite different. Despite this, Lowes demonstrates that there are numerous verbal parallels between the two texts. Spenser tends to move material around a great deal. For instance, he transfers the lion from Pride to Wrath because his Pride already rides in a chariot. Yet the description remains the same: Gower writes of a lion that will not go quietly for any amount of punishment ("pour nul chastiement"), and Spenser's lion is "loth for to be led" (qtd. on 400). Similarly, Spenser refers to Gluttony as a steward, and to Sloth as a chamberlain, phraseology that recalls lines 296-98 of the MO. Lowes admits that Spenser also uses other sources, but while the whole is a "composite" (415), the largest contribution is Gower's. Lowes further suggests that Spenser seems to have supplemented his many borrowings by turning to corresponding passages in the CA; the account of Avarice, for instance, is drawn almost equally from both sources (418-23). The result is that we find "bilingual scraps of Gower transmuted into pure, authentic Spenser" (423). Lowes further argues that other passages in the Faerie Queen (besides Book 1, Canto 4) are also influenced by Gower (438-47). Foremost among these are two descriptions of Envy in Book 4 (Canto 8), and Book 5 (Canto 12). Finally, Lowes rejects the possibility of a shared source for Gower and Spenser, and suggests that despite the survival of only one manuscript of the MO, the chance of Spenser's acquaintance with Gower's French works is not unlikely given the latter's "distinguished (and by no means undeserved) reputation as a poet not only in his own day, but in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries as well" (449-50). It is specifically in "Gower's series of strikingly pictorial, arresting stanzas" that Spenser found "a mine of suggestive detail" (437).

After suggesting that Chaucer may have owed his guardianship of the heirs of Edmund Staplegate in 1375 to Ralph Strode, Kuhl notes that John Gower too can be linked to Edmund Staplegate. According to the Calendar of Patent Rolls, in 1386 and 1387, "John Gower and Edmund Staplegate were among the purveyors of victuals at Dover Castle" (275). Kuhl suggests that this is Gower the poet, and on the basis of these connections he concludes that "Troilus and Criseyde was dedicated to two friends who were members of the King's faction" (276).

Both metrically and grammatically, Gower is more conservative and archaic, while Chaucer is more progressive. Chaucer uses everything that has "Kraft und Leben" (power and life) and is the fountain of language, at least until Shakespeare. However, Bihl's main thesis has less to do with general differences between the two authors (most of the book describes only minor differences), and more with the effect of rhythm and rhyme on grammar and diction. Bihl argues that "Der Rhythmus wirkt also night nur als ein erhaltendes, sondern auch als ein neu schöpfendes Agens" ("Rhythm also does not work only as an agent of conservation, but also as one that creates anew"; 3). For example, since Middle English has a substantial hoard of synonyms and alternate word forms (e.g., coroun – croune), each poet's diction heavily depends on the constraints of versification. In addition, the accentuation of syllables is unregulated, which further increases the poet's versatility (especially Chaucer's). To demonstrate this thesis, Bihl's work is organized into five chapters: chapter 1 deals with syllabification and touches on the final –e, elision, and syncopation; chapter 2 examines meter and stress (where again Chaucer is more flexible than Gower), chapter 3 looks at word formation, particularly in relation to affixes (where aphesis occurs) and suffixes; chapter 4 reveals what remains of the old declensions in the late fourteenth century; and chapter 5 treats the subject of syntax.

In the Jew of Malta, Marlowe refers to the "juice of Hebon" as a deadly poison, likely because he remembered Gower's line out of context, and thought that the ebony tree had a narcotic juice. Shakespeare's "juice of Hebona" (in Hamlet) is influenced by a memory of Marlowe's line, although it appears that Shakespeare thought that "hebon" was the same as "henbane," considered a serious poison in the sixteenth century.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Knowlton sets out to trace the literary development of the figure Genius. After brief mention of early sources such as Claudian's Second Panegyric on the Consulship of Stilicho and Bernardus Silvester's De Mundi Universitate, Knowlton describes Genius's role in Alain of Lille, Jean de Meun, and John Gower. Whereas in Alain's De Planctu Naturae, Genius is Nature's "reverend secretary, a personage of statesman-like force" (384), in the Roman de la Rose "he has become an undignified and voluble confessor, amanuensis, and stump orator" (384). In Gower's CA, Genius continues to be associated with love affairs, but since Gower's chief aim is to tell stories, he "requires no great emphasis upon allegorical figures" (384). In the CA Genius therefore no longer retains the same conspicuous position as in Alain of Lille or Jean de Meun. [CvD] Author/Editor Author/Editor Knowlton, E. C Published Knowlton, E. C.

Along the way he cites examples from "Mirour de l'Omme" of Gower's awareness of the "internal decay" of the language (27), refers to morphological confusion of "u" and "o" and of "u" and "ui" in Gower's works as identified by Alfred Tanneberger in 1910 (29), and describes MO as the "last considerable representative" of AN literature (39). In his catalog of fourteenth-century AN literature, Vising includes brief descriptions of "Cinkante Balades," MO, and "Traité pour Essampler les Amants Marietz" (72-73; items 360, 369-70) and, in a general discussion of AN versification, attributes Gower's "exceptional" combination of "adherence to English rhythm with the French syllabic system" to him being a "learned man," who "had spent considerable time in Paris" (82)--the latter, an incorrect assertion.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review This brief article is a sequel to Knowlton's 1920 piece "The Allegorical Figure of Genius," published in "Classical Philology." In the sequel, Knowlton focuses on the characterization of Genius after the composition of the "De Planctu Naturae" by Alan of Lille. Knowlton argues that after "his establishment on a lofty plane by Alan of Lille, Genius steadily altered for the worse, either in power or in morality" (95). In Jean de Meun, Genius is already portrayed more cynically, although he retains his respectable authority. Gower, afterwards, "brought him back to sober consideration by associating him directly with human beings, and accordingly deprived him of the majestic aloofness of Alan's excommunicator; still, he did not leave him as Jean's half-grotesque, vigorous demigod" (89). Knowlton further points out that Gower's Genius acts inconsistently. While Genius professes to know little except Venus's service, he provides an extensive account of knowledge in Book 7 of the CA. He also denies the divinity of Venus in Book 5. After this short exposition of Gower's Genius, Knowlton investigates the late medieval French reception of Genius, with a particular focus on Jean Lemaire and Clément Marot.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review This wide-ranging study of the figure of Fortuna in medieval literature is based upon Patch's 1915 Harvard dissertation. As Patch states in the preface, given the ubiquitousness of the subject, it would be close-to-impossible to be exhaustive in its coverage. Instead, Patch will "meander through the subject, avoiding the systematic, and taking up each bit of material for what it is worth." Since Fortuna as a literary figure, or trope, is so dependent upon its philosophical and theological contexts, Patch begins by exploring the transformation of Fortuna from antiquity into the Middle Ages, which came to construct Fortuna as both a pagan and Christian figure, one which allowed medieval thinkers to interrogate how a world ruled by a unified and constant deity could itself be so mutable and inconstant. Patch's second chapter, "Traditional Themes of Fortune in Medieval Literature," addresses both the physical descriptions of and themes associated with Fortuna in literary texts. Chapter three, "Functions and Cults," describes the duties associated with the goddess Fortuna, and chapter four, "The Dwelling-Place of Fortune," describes the locales in which Fortune appears in texts. The final chapter focuses upon the image of Fortune's Wheel. Patch's descriptions and discussions do indeed range far and wide in the literary milieux, from Abelard and Heloise to William of Malmesbury. Gower figures prominently (possibly more prominently than any other author) as an example throughout the study, and Patch draws liberally from Gower's entire trilingual oeuvre. Gower's CB XX, for example, provides an example of Fortune turning someone so far down under the wheel that it is impossible for that person to rise again (157). The MO provides an example of Fortune dealing in "aventures" (40). Fortune's weapons are exemplified in the VC 122 (85). And of course the CA provides a wealth of descriptive examples of Fortune's role, appearance, and use, from Fortune bringing enemies together to fight in CA VII.892 (108) to the belief that "Fortune's gifts, after all, come from the stars" in CA VII.639 (77). As a descriptive work, this study does not provide extended analyses or discussions on any one text or author; instead, as the prior examples demonstrate, it uses copious references to provide examples Fortune's appearances and how that figure is used in the texts. As such it would be an extremely useful reference work for any study focusing on this widely deployed figure. [BWG. Copyright.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Hamilton begins by arguing that Gower's account of Hercules is "a dovetailing of phrases from the Latin and French versions of Barlaam [and Josaphat], the enlarged Roman de Troie [see Hamilton's 1905 article for this hypothetical source], and maybe, from the Historia Trojana" (496). He then adds that some details – in particular, the number of Hercules' "merveiles" – are borrowed from redaction J2 (not Macaulay's J3) of the Historia de Preliis of Archypresbyter Leo. Lastly, Gower's emphasis on the contrast between Hercules' ignominious death (borrowed from the first set of sources) and Hercules' great deeds (borrowed from the Historia de Preliis), may be indebted to a passage from Walter Map's Dissuasio Valerii ad Ruffinum Philosophum ne Uxorem Ducat where the fatal gift of Deianira becomes Hercules's thirteenth labour. Lastly, Gower's comments on "Fortitudo" are borrowed from the Poetarius of Albericus of London. Hamilton then provides a brief discussion of the concept of fortitude in Gower's works, before moving on to an examination of the sources of the story of Nectanabus in Book 6 of the CA. Here too the Historia de Preliis is used to supply additional information, such as the idea that Nectanabus was king of Egypt. Other sources or analogues Hamilton mentions include the Roman de la Rose, Brunetto Latini's Tresor, and the Anglo-Norman Roman de Toute Chevalerie of Thomas of Kent. Hamilton dedicates special attention to the source of Gower's reference to the pillars of Hercules. [CvD] Author/Editor Author/Editor Hamilton, George L Published Hamilton, George L.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Audiau argues that in England there was a brief flowering of amorous poetry in the style of the Troubadours. The most significant imitators were Chaucer and (especially) Gower. Audiau provides a lengthy catalogue of examples where Gower's CB echoes the sentiments and metaphors of writers like Peire Vidal and Bernard de Ventadour. Audiau acknowledges that Gower may instead have copied the Trouveres and writers such as Petrarch, but he holds out the possibility that Gower knew Troubadour poetry directly.
