Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Leonhard's dissertation is an alphabetical "Onomasticon" (name-dictionary) of "Confessio Amantis." It lists and identifies the "deities, persons, and places associated with [the Greco-Roman] mythological tradition" (iii), up to and including Ovid, that appear in Gower's poem, arranged by standardized classical spellings rather than Gower's own (but see the Index mentioned below), running from "Acamus" to "Zodiac." Leonhard's entries (some, a few lines; others, several pages) identify appropriate characteristics, plots, motifs, and contexts associated with a given name, and they provide the frequency of occurrences in CA with line numbers from Macaulay's edition, along with authenticating references to classical sources, the commentary tradition, and compilations through Boccaccio's "De Genealogia Deorum." The citations are not comprehensive, but representative of the tradition Gower must have known, as Leonhard sees it, and "if possible," she tells us with due hesitation, she indicates "the poet's probable source and his adaptation of that source" (iii). Some of the information is straightforward identification; some, more expansive. For example, the entry on "Alcestis" states that Gower is interested in her "only as the exemplary wife . . . ," but, in a footnote to the entry, we learn more specifically that the poet "omits the recall of Alcestis from Hades" and that "Ovid does not tell the story of Alcestis at all" (14). More discursively, at "Nysa" (73), where the Gowerian equivalent is "Dyon," Leonhard records that "Mount Nysa in India" is the "birthplace of Bacchus," citing corroborating references to the First Vatican Mythographer, Fulgentius, and Boccaccio, but then opining that "Gower must have had some reason for choosing the name 'Dyon'," she adds the cross-reference "See Semele" and goes on to suggest that Gower "could have had in mind the Greek name Dionysus" (90-91). Footnotes and cross-references abound, and the whole project must have been a Herculean chore to type and correct on a manual typewriter. Following the dictionary itself (pp. 4-101), Leonhard includes "An Appendix Composed of Contextual Excerpts from the Sources Referred to in the Onomasticon" (pp. 102-242)--extensive quotations of the passages in Latin, French, and English of the sources that Leonhard cites in the dictionary proper. A skeletal "Outline of Gower's Moral Tale" (pp. 243-55) follows--i.e., a topic outline or table of contents of CA arranged by Book, vice and/or virtue, and the tales used to illustrate them. The dissertation ends with an alphabetical Index of the included names in Gower's own spelling and usage--i.e., "Alceste" rather than "Alcestis" and "Dyon" rather than "Nysa"--that refers us back to the classical name-list, followed by a Bibliography of the sources Leonhard used. The whole project is painstaking, and although some of its information and perspectives have been superseded by more recent and wider research, it is a useful reference work and, nearly 80 years on, notable as marker in the reception history of Gower. Fortunately, the .pdf reproduction of the original typescript is widely and readily accessible. [MA. Copyright. The John Gower Society. eJGN 41.1] Author/Editor Author/Editor Leonhard, Zelma Bernice.

My attempt to read medieval lovesickness manifestly, taking its claims at face value, reveals love and lovesickness as an embodied and thus imminent process that organizes relationships around culturally defined ideas of either negotiation and mutuality or hierarchy. The lability of lovesickness as a narrative tool makes it an attractive trope to think through larger ideas about the relationships of the sexes, of one individual to another, of the individual to society, and of the individual to the divine."

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review From Cressman's abstract: "Examination of the internal structure of John Gower's 'Cinkante Balades' shows their organization to be more complex than previously recognized. The ballades are arranged into nine groups identified by the possession of common themes and internal linking devices. The nine thematic groups are placed within framing ballades dedicating the sequence to Henry IV on his coronation in 1399. From mutual affection to angry separation, the successive thematic groups form a sequence representing the inadequacy of earthly love, 'fin amour,' within a courtly setting. This view is presented within a general philosophical survey of love in which 'fin amour' and 'vrai amour,' brotherly love, are subsumed within 'bon amour,' or divine love . . . . Analysis of the style, form, and larger structural patterns of the 'Balades' shows significant similarities with [French court] lyrics, especially those of Machaut and Froissart. However, the complex thematic arrangement and the philosophical overview of love to be found in the 'Cinkante Balades; are unapproached elsewhere in French or English poetry of the fourteenth century."

Weiskott opines that Gower knew and used John Erghome's Latin commentary on Bridlington, and suggests some of the structure of the "Cronica" may be based on Bridlington, noting as well that both Gower and Erghome had connections with Austin priories. He calls for "further source study and renewed attention to those aspects of Gower's Latin poetry that reflect his immersion in the difficult and explosively popular genre of insular political prophecy" (162).

Both are by different hands datable after the fourteenth century, and thus Warner sees them as indications of the "afterlives" of Gower's poems.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review The influence of medieval romance is omnipresent throughout the plays of Shakespeare. In the late plays, however, it becomes "conspicuous" to the point of defining a Shakespearean "romance" genre of its own (37). A prime example of "'the medieval' in Shakespeare" is the character Gower in "Pericles: 564 ff., as he narrates an episode of knights in armor not found in any source for the play, including the "Confessio Amantis" (38). Why such "deviation from precedent," including the "remarkable decision to use Gower as presenter" . . . [speaking in] "old-fashioned tetrameters" that would have sounded, to a "sophisticated" audience, decidedly "then" as opposed to "now" (40)? This semi-comic Gower (1607 or later) is in stark contrast with the poet's sixteenth-century reputation for "authority, moral weight, and contemporary relevance," as well as a humanistic devotion to "renew[ing] the vernacular" and excellence of English style (42), per Berthelette, Spenser, Gabriel Harvey, and Robert Greene (41-43). What explains this skeptical new approach to Gower and medieval romance? "Shakespeare's oeuvre sits across [the] temporal fault line" (51) of 1605, when the term "Middle Age" was first used by William Camden to define the centuries in between the classics and the Elizabethan revival of learning. Camden "values [the Middle Age] as one of high martial honour and poetic passion, but also stresses its lack of decorum" (44). The year 1605 also saw the publication of "Don Quixote," with its new "authorial self-consciousness" and "delicate irony" at the expense of the still-"admire[d]," but now "outmoded" conventions of medieval romance (45-46). In his latest plays including "Pericles," Shakespeare manipulates the perception of "antiquity . . . artificiality" and "Cervantean play" to heighten the effect of "an old tale," deploying "characters [such as Gower who] articulate the fictive quality of the events that they see unfold" (49).

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Stone proposes "to offer a history of the histories of Alexander, the classical texts that were interpolated, redacted, and translated by scholars from the twelfth to the seventeenth century and that account for our modern dichotomous conception of Alexander as a disturbingly violent tyrant or a political visionary who established a harmonious, multicultural empire" (2). The Middle Ages knew Alexander in two versions: as a decadent, corrupt pagan tyrant who deserved poisoning, or as a political idealist who sought to "defeat and unite disparate cultures under the yoke of political and philosophical idealism" (5). The first position is that of Pompeius Trogus, and later of Orosius; the second was spread initially by Diodorus Siculus, Arrian, Quintus Curtius, Plutarch, and Justin in the Roman world, and subsequently, combined with folk Eastern elements, through romances. Chapter 5 (141-63) is devoted to "'Moral' Gower and the Rejection of Alexander." Stone sets Gower firmly in the former camp: "By the end of his career Gower possessed an extensive knowledge of the various traditions of Alexander literature in circulation and clearly rejected Alexander as one of history's imitable models of kingship" (141). Gower's Alexander emerges gradually but steadily over the course of his oeuvre as "an extended moral warning on kingship" (142). Stone traces this progress through the "Mirour de l'Omme" (Alexander is undone by Fortune, and his empire by the greed and treachery of his successors); the "Vox Clamantis" (Gower as Aristotle to Richard II/Alexander, arguing in Senecan fashion that "the fall of a man is due in part to his own faults and errors, not merely the machinations wrought by Fortune" [144], and--like Aristotle--failing to be heard); the "Confessio Amantis" (writing to advise both Richard and Henry IV, Gower "effectively graduates from echoing . . . Seneca and Cicero . . . to the manner of Augustine and Orosius" [157-58], and holds up Alexander's insatiable appetite for conquest, "for waging perpetual warfare and disturbing world peace . . . a clear condemnation of war," as his undoing); and "In Praise of Peace" ("clearly marks the culmination of Gower's development of a singular, definitive reception of Alexander, as he condemns more explicitly than at any point in his writings the ancient ruler's inability to restrain his will and mad desire for conquest") (159).

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Smith offers an analysis of the "fourteenth-century historical imaginary" as it works itself out in the versions of the "Custance legend" (195)--primarily Chaucer's, but she also acknowledges those of John Gower and Nicholas Trevet, largely as counterpoints to Chaucer. Smith suggests that the narrator's various interjections foregrounding questions of history and tale transmission may represent "real sites of debate about belief and the role of literary narrative in belief about the past" (197). Hence her shift to an overview of the tale's representation of the "Anglo-Saxon" past, with quick examinations of Trevet's and Gower's versions before contrasting them to Chaucer's. Without directly engaging with the complex critical history of the supposition, she invokes the idea of the CA being commissioned by Richard II--drawing the conclusion that whether we believe the story or not, it suggests the significance of early historical material to English identity, "a bok for Engelondes sake" (199). She suggests that "early history was tied undeniably to the present" for Gower (200), before briefly discussing late fourteenth-century uses of early English figures like Edward the Confessor (and presumably Custance) to frame a national self-image, grounded in an England prior to the Hundred Years' War. Drawing on language from Chaucer's "Complaint to His Purse" as an approach to the historical contextualization of English kingship, Smith then argues that the use of Custance in the "Man of Law's Tale" similarly sets up an ideal justifying power "by right of her lineage and by right of her virtue and merit" (202). Here she addresses Gower and Chaucer together in their relationships with Richard II and Henry IV who, she presumes, had similar interests in early English history. Her focus then returns to consider the Man of Law's interjections more specifically. She suggests an important difference between Chaucer's and Gower's versions of the story. Gower and Trevet both "offer plausible explanations" for the points the Man of Law questions: e.g., the believability of details (like why Custance wasn't murdered at her wedding in Syria) (203). This, Smith argues, positions the "Man of Law's Tale" as overtly rhetorical in its adaptation of its sources, which in turn allows Chaucer to push his reader toward a particular model of reading. In Chaucer's hands, Custance thus becomes "an interpretive tool" (205), as well as a narrative character. Ultimately, then, Gower serves largely as a foil for Chaucer in this reading. Smith works throughout the article with the fanciful idea of Chaucer performing the tale "even to his friend Gower" (197) somewhat invoking the old idea of a conflict between the poets around this tale without necessarily engaging with it in depth. This occasionally leads to fanciful moments: "If we then imagine Gower as a target audience in a highly self-conscious tale, parts of it then must be read in the spirit of a literary romp" (208-9). Certainly her various points along the way make more sense than not, but one cannot help but have the feeling that Smith is reading into Gower and Chaucer's relationship in a way that may not be fully grounded. Her sense of Chaucer's motivations in his adaptation of Gower can be very conjectural. [RAL. Copyright. The John Gower Society. eJGN 41.1] Author/Editor Author/Editor Smith, Kathleen.

Ceres, her mother, has hidden her away in a secret chamber below Mt. Aetna, to protect her virginity. Following Venus to pick flowers while her mother was away, Proserpina is spotted by Pluto and ravished. Neither the detail of the chamber below Aetna nor that of weaving/spinning occurs in the "Metamorphoses" proper, but rather both are in Gower's main source, the "Ovidius moralizatus." Berchorius' own source for his mention of weaving/spinning, however, not being in Ovid's version, has eluded discovery. Sharp locates it in Claudian's "De raptu Proserpinae" ("a foundational text in the medieval curriculum," [163]), Book I, ll. 244-53, citing the passage as "the narrative building block from which Berchorius could have drawn for his own moralization of Ovid" (164).

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Rajendran's essay focuses on the "Constance Group" of medieval romances, including Gower's iteration of this tale in his "Confessio Amantis," and "The King of Tars." She argues that "reproductive futurity as it is imagined in these two narratives creates the crossroads that brings together monstrosity, race, and disability through their erasure" (128). Bodies that are non-white and non-Christian are presented as "illegible bodies" that must either be cured or eliminated. Rajendran suggests the "futures proposed by these narratives [are] the true monsters of the text, rather than the bodies that we are supposed to see as monstrous or 'different'" (130). The birthed children in both texts serve as symbols of the future. In "King of Tars," the princess uses the future child to convince the Sultan to convert, but what actually moves him to convert is "the power of Christianity, and the access to imperial power that it potentially offers him" (134). The "imagined future," in these texts, Rajendran claims, "creates a relationship between whiteness, Christianity, able-bodiedness, and imperial power" (134). Christianity is the only acceptable reproductive future, and thus Christian imperialism is acceptable imperialism. Constance, in both Gower's and Chaucer's tales, cannot be read only via her gender; rather, Rajendran asserts, we must acknowledge the "operations of imperial Christianity" (136). The mothers-in-law in this story must be depicted as monstrous to achieve the goals of imperial Christianity: "Because they resist the future that the narrative strives toward, the mothers-in-law must be made monstrous and eliminated. The language of monstrosity in the narrative is used as a prop to vilify characters that the narrative wants to destroy, and is used to heighten the emotional appeal of reading Constance as a victim" (137). Women's bodies, then, are simply fuel for the engine of imperialism in this tale, and to see Constance as the "other" distracts from the elimination of other identities in the imagined future of Christian imperialism. To conclude her essay, Rajendran cites Alison Kafer's discussion (from "Feminist, Queer, Crip") of the exclusion of queer and disabled kids from imagined futurity today to reflect on the same dynamic in the medieval texts she discusses: "to be part of the future [in these texts], one must be 'cured' of disability and blackness (as in "The King of Tars"), but the inability of women to be cured of their gender means that they must be eliminated once they have played their part in ensuring the continuity of the future (as in the death of Constance)" (142).

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review The first of two sections is devoted to Gower's "Love of Words," as evidenced by his copious production in three languages, and his contribution to "evolving English" as a sophisticated medium of expression (442). "The greatest example [of wordplay] . . . is the 'Confessio Amantis'," with its "disjunctions" built into a layered structure of Latin glosses, confessional dialogue, and exempla illustrating sins against love (441, 443). Peters draws from Foucault's confession theory to explicate the dialogue between Genius and Amans as a "parrhesia" or truth-telling on both sides, leading to "greater self-knowledge" on the part of "the confessing subject." In a "clear parallel," the poem itself--with its "tensions" calling for "judgment" on the part of the reader--"becomes Genius, the confessor, and the reader becomes Amans, or Everyman, in order to prompt greater self-knowledge" (443). To understand Gower's "Words of Love" (the title of the second section), Peters--per Foucault--argues that we must line them up against the "competing discourses" on love that were current in the late fourteenth century (446). First--following Duby--he cites the "lay model," which defined marriage as an arrangement for protecting landed property, while condoning male promiscuity/adultery (446-48). Its alternative, the "ecclesiastical model," accepted marriage only "as a lesser evil to control sexuality" (449), with the wife submissive to her husband. However--per D'Avray et al.--devout discourse by the late fourteenth century increasingly extolled married love, as it "model[s] the affective relationship between the individual soul and God" (449). The "Cinkante balades," considered by Peters as Gower's definitive expression on love (444), affirms the third of these discourses, while rejecting the first, and eliding the second (456). Ballad 49 presents the poet's "supreme" statement on love between spouses as divinely inspired, and a model of "'droite courtasie' toward all women" (457). [LBB. Copyright.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review One of the brightest signs of growing interest in Gower is the recent attention to the manuscripts of his work: their fascinating political valences, their luxurious design, their position in current discussions about certain London scribes and canon formation in the book worlds of London and beyond. Those lines of investigation now have a splendid and solid foundation in Pearsall's and Mooney's Catalogue. The forty-nine surviving manuscripts and six fragments of the "Confessio Amantis" are fully described in entries that meet and regularly exceed contemporary practice in their sheer fullness of detail. As the Foreword notes, the project began in 1978 (xiii), with significant early work by Jeremy Griffiths and Kate Harris. Four decades on, the Catalogue benefits from recent work on the CA to update the heroic labors of George C. Macaulay now a century old. Macaulay's brief manuscript descriptions are in some cases markedly less complete than in others (also true for his collations), and he did not see nine CA manuscripts in Middle English now known to scholars. That inconsistency has now been rectified. In this Catalogue manuscript contents are described with lacunae fully annotated and additions listed; illustrations and decorations are discussed at length. Physical description in general is extensive, offering information on scribal hands, page design, and punctuation. Substantial discussions of provenance are the rule, not the exception: for London, British Library, MS Harley 3490 the discussion of provenance extends over five pages (105-109), and that example is not the exception. In many places consultations with A. I. Doyle, Kathleen Scott, and other scholars have enriched the entries. Current scholarship is well-enough represented that the Works Cited alone is worth the attention of Gowerians. The appendices include an authoritative summary list of the manuscripts, Macaulay's sigla, and an overview of Gower's shorter poems in Latin often added to the end of the CA, along with poems not attributed to Gower that appear in CA manuscripts. The French poem "Traitié pour essampler les amantz marietz" also finds its way into the third appendix, a bit surprising but helpful, since one or more of three short Latin poems seem to attach themselves to this "ballade" collection in several early manuscripts. A small gathering of color plates offers glimpses of the two standard miniatures (the Dream of Nebuchadnezzar and the Confession) and the two main layouts in what Pearsall has called the "London style" for the poem in the first decades of its public life. The Catalogue does not include the two Iberian translations of the CA; the editors note that these manuscripts have been well-discussed recently. Nor does it include the nine independent manuscripts of "Vox clamantis," the Trentham anthology (London, British Library, MS Add. 59495), or the sole copy of the "Mirour de l'Omme" (Cambridge, University Library, MS Add. 3035). We can turn to other sources for the latter two, but a full contemporary description of the VC manuscripts remains an important and incomplete task. In all other respects this long-awaited treasure-house fulfills its promise. [JF. Copyright. The John Gower Society. eJGN 41.1] Author/Editor Author/Editor Pearsall, Derek and Linne Mooney, eds.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Hadbawnik seeks to show that "poets deploy the pose of the 'master' guarding--but also offering to reveal--the professional secret as way to spur readers to discover higher truths in vernacular poems. Language can be alchemically transformed if readers work hard enough, devote themselves, and never rely completely on the vernacular but trust the poet to guide them in finding the perfect 'mixture' between classical and vernacular tongues. Poets writing in the English vernacular use the alchemical anecdote as a challenge--more generously, an invitation--to readers to participate in the project of language development in pursuit of higher truths. To achieve full understanding of such truths, poets imply, readers should not be satisfied with one tongue, but must allow poets to guide them in seeking the right mixture, via strategies such as language games and the code-switching inherent in macaronic texts" (202). Gower, who for Hadbawnik is "invested in the alchemical trope," "seems to position Latin alongside the vernacular in order to think through the poet's--and by extension, the reader's--relationship to language. For Gower, the alchemical anecdote offers hope working through Latin to achieve an understanding of deep hermetic truths in . . . the vernacular" (203). Thus he finds similarities between Norton and Gower: "the Latin in 'Confessio Amantis' contributes to a complex game of audience-shaping, enacting restrictions and tensions not unlike those noted in 'The Ordinal of Alchemy' . . . the frequent Latin belies an 'anxiety' about access to hidden knowledge that reflects a similar tension in alchemical texts such as Norton's" (216). Gower's work seems to "implicitly--and at times explicitly"--"map onto" what Hadbawnik calls "the professional secret of the alchemical anecdote" (217). The demands placed upon readers by Gower's shifts from Latin (prose and verse) to English and back again challenges in the same way that alchemical texts at once promise secret knowledge and yet withhold it. Hence Hadbawnik's claim that for Gower "alchemy [is] a sort of arch-metaphor for the vernacular poetic project" (219).] [RFY. Copyright.

He quotes Book VIII.1700-38 of Caxton's 1554 edition of the CA Apollonius tale as corresponding to the "recognition scene" in "Pericles" 5.1, and mentions a few other correspondences that critics have identified between CA and Shakespeare's plays and poems. But the focus here is "Pericles." Gillespie reports that Shakespeare combined the "main outline" of Gower's Apollonius plot with the version of Lawrence Twine, and that the "most striking difference" between the poem and the play "may be the figure of Gower himself as Chorus," generally synopsizing critical opinion supported by citation of some eighteen studies. He does, however, propose an additional, undeveloped observation: that "the limpidity of the Gower story and its affinities with the saint's life narrative" (162) may have influenced more than just the plot of "Pericles."

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Garrison's essay begins with a summary of the recent exploration of personal rape narratives that have led us to question our assumptions about the safety and civility of Western society. She suggests Gower's "Confessio Amantis" as a potential tool to use in transforming Western rape culture because it "highlights sexual violence against women as a central cultural injustice and presents rape narratives as a potentially powerful force for social and political change" (123). Gower's poem brings to light the social destruction that results from "the masculine chivalric ideal" that nearly always comes at the price of women's suffering. Garrison focuses on three of the stories in the CA: "Mundus and Paulina," "Tarquin and Lucrece," and "Tereus and Philomena." Garrison notes that "Gower reveals that the language of courtly love is a culturally sanctioned version of the language of rape" (124). He does this through Genius's warnings about the dangers of courtly love through tales concerning rape, and, despite what other critics have argued, Garrison contends that Gower is not trivializing experiences of rape but instead showing them as acts of violence against communities. Discussing the tale of "Mundus and Paulina," she demonstrates how the community's response to Paulina's rape creates a sort of solidarity--the "English social unity" for which he calls in his Prologue (126). Gower achieves this through his focus on Paulina's suffering, which also works to unite the Christian community. In the legend of Lucrece, Garrison writes, "Gower focuses on the power of Lucrece as a storyteller who exposes the social dangers of powerful men who fail to control their own desires" (130). She suggests Gower's moral for the tale is that powerful men should not rape their subjects. After demonstrating the through-lines in the CA of the rape of women and invasions of cities, Garrison adds, "Gower highlights how the rape of Lucrece has significance that extends well beyond one woman's body" (133). Garrison concludes this section of her essay: "Gower suggests that rape and political tyranny are inextricably intertwined" (134-35). Finally, Garrison turns to Gower's tale of "Philomena and Tereus," in which he "most clearly articulates the power of women's personal rape narratives" (135). Garrison posits the languages of courtly love and rape blur in this tale. She writes, "Philomena's narrative, written both on and by Philomena, consistently highlights the intersections of rape and courtly love in defining the chivalric subject" (138). Rape and courtly love become synonymous. Garrison concludes her essay by highlighting the transformative social power of rape narratives: "As uncomfortable a truth as it may be, personal rape narratives are an art. As an art form, they only have power insofar as they inspire their readers to change themselves" (141). [JGS. Copyright.

Ganim builds on James Dean's work in "The World Grown Old," identifying a "fundamentally pessimistic and entropic view of the world [that] permeates a spectrum of genres" (75). From this foundation, then, Ganim moves to exploring how English writers engage this worldview, beginning with Chaucer and Gower; he notes not only the small, potentially direct moments in which Chaucer engages with the 1381 Rising but also traces the themes of apocalypse, chaos, and popular revolt into works such as the "Knight's Tale." As he turns to Gower, Ganim focuses on the "Visio Anglie" of the "Vox Clamantis": he suggests that both writers present not just moments of crisis, but also everyday life as itself anarchic in more mundane ways. Ganim traces this mundane anarchy to patterns of social anxiety in the late fourteenth century as well as to a growing concern about personal taboos in confessional manuals. From there, he outlines some of the afterlives of this connection between anarchy and the Middle Ages in later medievalisms, ranging from the Sex Pistols to "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," with a particularly nuanced reading of William Morris's "News from Nowhere" and "The Dream of John Ball." By way of conclusion, he returns to medieval literature, tracking ideals of collective action in the miracles recounted in John Lydgate's "Miracles of St. Edmund." [KMcS. Copyright.

(618) For Elias, the Knight and Squire reflect a series of rhetorical dichotomies associated with Crusader ethics: experienced wisdom vs. rashness of youth; material verses spiritual desires; and simple vs. opulent dress. Chaucer, as Elias states, associates the Squire with the Despenser Crusade in order to depict "a crusader, who embodies moral and behavioural weaknesses" (639). At various points in the essay, Elias compares Chaucer's representation of Crusader ethics (and Chaucer's critique of crusading generally) with Gower's discussions of crusades and crusading in his "Mirour de l'Omme" and "Confessio Amantis." Elias argues that Gower's references foreground (as do Chaucer's) the incompatibility of love with desire for worldly fame (which drives much of crusader ethics). [BWG. Copyright.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Duffell rewrites traditional English metrical history with the aid of the methods and terminologies of linguistic metrics (both statistical and generative), comparative linguistics, and cognitive science, and with recurrent attention to intercultural interactions. The book's ten chapters are frequently daunting, with data and metaphors drawn from this wide and exacting variety of fields, but contextualizing cultural descriptions and the brisk summary-conclusions that punctuate the chapters are sharply written, offering a clear-cut march "from the earliest surviving examples of versifying in a Germanic language to some of the most complex and subtle modern metrical experiments" (3), along the way discussing the metrical habits of "just over ninety poets" (4) including Gower. Chapter four, "Versifying in Bilingual England" (pp. 73-95), describes and analyzes Gower's English and French metrics, set in contrast to those of Chaucer and of the so-called "Poems of Ch," and rehearsing much of what Duffell has already published about Gower and Chaucer since 1996. The volume's extensive bibliography includes six essays on Gower and/or Chaucer written by Duffell, plus two on Gower's French metrics written collaboratively with Dominique Billy (as well a number of studies by Duffell that do not pertain to Gower or Chaucer). This large body of data is compressed and made more valuable by the "evolutionary" (Duffell's recurrent term) frame of the volume, its statistical tables, and the "Index of Linguistics and Metrical Terms," much used by me as I negotiated Duffell's statistical information and data-rich discussions. The rewards are many, both specific claims (some consigned to footnotes) and more sweeping generalizations. A few examples from the notes on p. 95: "Gower anticipated French poets of the sixteenth century in ignoring contemporary speech norms and requiring an artificial delivery by his readers." As well, Gower's "archaic convention of pronouncing 'e-atone' has survived in modern French song and drama" (n.33). Further, comparing the "78% of Gower's 'vers de dix' [that] have no strong syllable in an odd-numbered position" with "70% in Boccaccio's 'endecasyllabi'," and adding another "10% of Gower's lines [in which] a strong syllable in an odd-numbered position is prevented from becoming prominent in delivery by a phrasal stress that immediately follows it," Duffell deduces that "Gower's French long line could therefore be described as 88% iambic" (n.35). In his "Conclusion" to chapter four Duffell tells us that both Chaucer and Gower "learned from Italian models how to count beats in such a way as to produce a regular number of syllables," but that "two disasters hit their enterprise": the loss of "word-final schwa" and "the defeat of the Plantagenets in the Hundred Years War, which doomed the Insular variety of French." Thus, "[o]ne of Gower's most important metrical innovations" in Insular French was "lost forever," although "his English iambic tetrameter and Chaucer's pentameter were recovered in the sixteenth century, and became the canonical metres of subsequent English verse" (92). Without saying so overtly, Duffell prefers Chaucer's variations in beat to Gower's regularity, and Chaucer's greater influence among later poets is made evident. Yet, Gower has a larger place in Duffell's linguistics-rich metrical history than in traditional ones, even without discussion of his Latin verse. [MA. Copyright.

The following is an English abstract provided by the author.) "This study tries to locate the interface of the moral and political aspects found in John Gower's 'Confessio Amantis.' The epithet 'moral' has traditionally been attached to Gower. Gower has also been under suspicion for being too political, especially because he changed the recipients of dedication from Richard II to Henry of Derby who will be enthroned later as Henry IV. Focusing on the Prologue and Book VII of the 'Confessio Amantis,' this study explicates the historical character of the poem and argues that the tales reflect the main concern of his age. For example, his emphasis on the importance of law in the governance of kingdom [sic] was an inverse mirror image of the misgovernance of Richard II. Gower had hoped to educate the king to be a moral person who could rule himself and his kingdom. Frustrated by Richard's misgovernance, Gower turned to Henry."

Rather, it focusses on "Piers Plowman" and the "Secretum Secretorum." She notes that Gower "groups geomancy with sorcery but does not condemn it outright" (140); that although Bodley 581 "is not literary in any traditional sense of the term, it does occupy some of the same cultural terrain" as "Piers Plowman" and "the more courtly works of Chaucer and Gower . . . . In the 'Confessio Amantis,' Genius introduces geomancy and proscribes it at the same time, describing its practice and mythical origins even as he warns against it" (159). Breen sees the compiler of Bodley 581 seeking "solutions for many of the problems of morality and readership addressed by Chaucer, Gower, and Langland--although by different experimental means" (160). By creating a book capable of being read without formal instruction, the Bodley 581 compiler in effect envisions Richard as representative of "the emergent reading public of late fourteenth-century England" (160), a readership that of course was Gower's as well.

He takes up Macaulay's surmise that "Caxton may have used the actual manuscript of the 'Confessio Amantis' given by Marchandine Hunnis to Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1610-11" (285)--that is, Oxford, Magdalen College, MS Lat. 213. This claim he finds "highly debatable," although there is suggestive evidence (e.g., only "the minutest differences in a space of two or three hundred lines together," passages marked with crosses and circles that also begin columns in Caxton's text) at least through line 4525, when "Caxton . . . evidently begins to follow a different type of manuscript." Yet Bone found "no reading that is conclusive" (285). Nonetheless, he leaves open the possibility that Magdalen College 213 was marked up by Caxton and/or his apprentices: " . . . if we accept the evidence of the Magdalen manuscript . . . it looks as though Caxton's compositors of 1483 marked sporadically with crosses or circles" (306).

It is a useful introduction into close-to-current thinking on poetic reception in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. Gower is mentioned only a few times, however, and only the "Confessio Amantis." Attridge notes that the shift from French to English poetry in the period led to a "growing audience for poetry in English among the increasingly large circle of administrators who managed London's commercial interests and the merchants and traders who contributed to its wealth" (228). He cites Strohm and Middleton on our increasing sense of the period's audience and its social status, before moving on the broader question of poetic performance versus manuscript delivery. Attridge offers a fairly thorough analysis of "Troilus and Criseyde," and its representation of both performance and reading. Briefly shifting to Gower, he argues that the CA, like "Troilus and Criseyde," "hovers between the oral and the literate" (238); he then returns to Chaucer with the "Canterbury Tales," remarking that the sense of being caught between written and oral form seems to extend to the speaking pilgrims, as well. He then moves to a discussion of metrical form, which similarly focuses primarily on Chaucer, though he mentions Gower's "strict tetrameter verse" (243). He suggests that the pentameter line represents a break from "the song-oriented four-beat forms" (243). As a broad exploration of the slow shift from poetry as a purely oral form to its later existence primarily in writing, the chapter gives a good sense of a transitional period. That being said, scholars of Gower well find more here about the trends of his period than about his actual work. [RAL. Copyright.

Title A name given to the resource Gower Collection GowerType Customized Item type for items in the Gower Database Review Anderson's subject is the so-called "Visio Anglie," Book I of the "Vox Clamantis" in most known manuscripts. He closes his essay this way: "For his dreamer, the presence of the moment is visceral and physical. In spite of its profoundly dark tone, Gower still sees the 'Vox' as a source of light . . . . The ideal reader is one who can use the work as a mirror for deep meditation and self-reflection. Gower's greatest fear seems to be the person who absorbs nothing, remembers nothing, and projects his desires and will onto the world" (43). Drawn together here are the several strands of a complex argument in which Anderson portrays Gower as a shocked witness of the revolt who in the "Visio" "speaks as a moralist who wants to explicate, advise, and teach . . . to elucidate what the events signified" (24). For Gower, this meant an appeal to "sensory perception and its manifold claims to experience" (25) as an entry to understanding, and interpreting, the events as "signa." Anderson cites medieval theories of sense perception that merge visual and tactile experience, along with contemporary understanding of memory to argue that Gower's pastiche of Latin quotation in the "Visio" is a careful assertion through literary form of historical consciousness for his intended audience ("literate nobles searching for interpretive models to give meaning to their own perceptions and experiences of the revolt" [26])--a technique that comes with a moral edge. On the one hand, a knowledge of the past enacted by recognizing and comprehending the Latin demands remembrance, reflection, and moral assessment. This Gower hopes for his target readers, as a tool to enable "the learned and literate political elites whose own sins and moral lapses had, in the poet's eyes, helped to precipitate the revolt" (42). For these, some form of penitence, modelled by the dreamer, is in order. On the other side, in contrast, are the transformed peasants, who, as Anderson's examinations of their inhuman sounds and blind obedience to the Jackdaw's commands are to show, "are monstrous on account of their inability to properly absorb, and relate to, past and present experience . . . to weigh the ramifications of their actions" (36). Anderson's essay is ambitious in its wide-reaching multifocality, but in the main convincing, and offers several fresh approaches to Gower's "Visio." [RFY. Copyright.

He clarifies his categories and, by means of extensive examples, shows how in Gower "often uses wordplay to sharpen the semantic or conceptual contrast, aiming at logical clarity and satirical poignancy" (268-69). At times, Itô tells us, Gower repeats "the same word or cognate forms," evidently "pleasing and persuasive" to his audience, while at others, he uses wordplay to heighten "lyrical or emotive scenes." Wordplay in MO is often concentrated in rhyme position and, in some instances, capitalizes "contracted on forms peculiar to French (e.g., 'dire-d'Ire')" (269).

The dustcover (a TO mappa mundi in deep red on a mauve background) he designed himself, in replication of the tripartite globe in London, British Library MS Cotton Tiberius A.iv, "and also suggesting the three continents . . . or the Three Estates." The jacket characterizes Itô's criticism overall: thoughtful, perceptive, attentive to small detail. The book, as he points out in the preface, "has not been written newly, but rather a collection [sic] of what I sporadically wrote during a score or more years of reading Gower. Therefore, there is some lack of thematic unity in it" (xii). Most of the individual chapters appeared prior to 1975 in Japanese journals. Part I, "On Gower's English Works," contains six essay/chapters: "The Sense of Correspondence in Confessio Amantis," "The Man of Law's Tale vs. Tale of Constance," "Chaucer and Gower as Story-tellers," "Three Versions of 'Apollonius of Tyre'," "Jason and Medea--A Story of Golden Love," and "Gower and Rime Royal." Part II, "On Gower's Non-English Works," contains four essay/chapters: "A Midsummer Nightmare--An Interpretation of Book I of Vox Clamantis," "On the English Translation (by E.W. Stockton) of Vox Clamantis," "Cinkante Balades: A Garland for a New King" [not previously published]. and "Omnia Vincit Amor--An Interpretation of Cronica Tripertita." Part III, "Gower and Rhetoric," contains five essay/chapters: "Paranomasia in Vox Clamantis," "Gower's Use of Rime Riche in Confessio Amantis," "Wordplay in Confessio Amantis," "Wordplay in Mirour de l'Omme" [not previously published], and "Gower's Knowledge of Poetria Nova."
