- Review
- Ladd addresses what he sees as Gower's shift in CA from the overt estates satire of his earlier works into a more general critique of humankind's susceptibility to "the sins of materialism and avarice" by exploring examples in numerous tales to conclude that Gower demonstrates how economic interactions must be "part of how we all get along."
