Review
Contends that the Confessio Amantis was written with a full awareness "of the nature and potential of the literary traditions available," and is "a work which (in terms of medieval literary theory) is compendious, cohesive and pleasureably didactic." [PN/ Copyright the John Gower Society. JGN 3.1]
