- Review
- The discovery of the only manuscript with the Portuguese translation of the "Confessio Amantis," Cortijo notes, has helped clarify some questions that scholars had been posing about the reception of the poem in Iberia. The discovery of the manuscript shows, in Cortijo's view, that Gower's work had a wider diffusion and dissemination than previously envisioned. Equally consequential for evaluating the impact of the Gowerian text is the dating of the Portuguese manuscript, which confirms an early distribution in the CA in Iberia. For Cortijo, the relevance of this early date cannot be emphasized enough, as it coincides with the expansion of the sentimental novel, a genre that bears significant resemblances and points in common from a formal and thematic point of view.
