Review
Wilkins uses Gower's apparent taste for French literary forms as indication of a similar interest in French musical approaches, thereby connecting him with what Wilkins identifies as the center of late fourteenth-century musical activity. The essay contain a valuable inquiry into the growth and development of the London Pui. [PN. Copyright the John Gower Society. JGN 3.1]
