Review
Finds Gower to have been seminal in the formation of Early Modern English, observing the "large number of words" in CA still in modern use and, barring technical terms, the limited number of "difficult words" in the work. Bases these comments on evidence from, and corrections to, instances of first usage or first meanings in the OED. [RFY1981; rev. MA].
