Review
A discursive bibliography of Gower materials, covering years 1960-1983, with sub-sections on Editions and Translations, Bibliographies, Biographies and Portraits, Language Studies and Stylistics, Source Studies, Critical Studies, and Future Directions. Observes that the "volume and quantity of recent scholarship points toward a growing audience of informed readers at many levels" (3). However, "Gower studies have yet to be launched fully" (19), particularly because relatively "little work has been done on the poetry in languages other than Middle English" (20). [MA. Copyright.
