Review
Dédéyan published a series of essays on Dante in England in Les Lettres Romanes, volumes 12-15 (1958-1961), with the section on Gower being very brief. In it, Dédéyan repeats a pair of connections between Gower and Dante identified by Paget Toynbee (1909), agreeing that they may have been mediated by Petrarch and/or Chaucer. Gower's contribution to Dante's literary fortune in England, he concludes, is slim ("mince"; p. 179). [MA. Copyright. John Gower Society. eJGN 42.2]
