Review
This is the third collection of essays that Yeager has assembled from papers originally delivered at the sessions sponsored by the John Gower Society at the annual International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, and like its predecessors (in 1989 and 1998), it offers, in its juxtaposition of work by old and new hands, a valuable cross-section of where we are in Gower studies at the present time. Less theoretically oriented than its predecessors, it is also less concerned either with Gower's poetics or with traditional formal analysis, but each of the ten essays offers some interesting new insight into Gower's work.
