- Review
- A CD ROM featuring readings by Brian W. Gastle, Clara Pascual-Argente, and Tiago Viúla de Faria of the "Confessio Amantis" 2888-*3114 in (respectively) Middle English, Castilian, and Portuguese. The accompanying book includes an introduction detailing Gower's life and work by Sáez-Hidalgo and Yeager in contemporary English, with translations into modern Spanish and Portuguese. The readings are accompanied by the selected CA text, presented in Middle English from the edition of G. C. Macaulay, the Castilian ("Confesión de amante") from that of Carlos Alvar, and the Portuguese ("Confisyon de Amante") from the edition of Antonio Cortijo Ocaña. Luis Delgado, perhaps Spain's foremost performing expert on medieval music, provides appropriate musical accompaniment, playing a variety of period instruments in arrangements both original and historic.
