- Review
- Points out that, for Gower in the Confessio Amantis, "to every thing there is a season": Amans' problem is not that he is old--for old age was not a stigma in the Middle Ages--but rather that he fails to act as his age requires. When he at last conforms to behavior proper to his senescence, the poem resolves itslef. [PN. Copyright the John Gower Society. JGN 1.1]
