- Review
- Uses passages from CA as comments on English social life and characters--jugglers, the "ferment of democracy," desire not to slay heathen, fear of Peasants' Revolt; Gower is a "strong partisan of the aristocracy," even though Dale recurrently links his views with those of Langland. [RFY1981; rev. MA].
