- Review
- Supports the conclusions of G. C. Macaulay (1899-1902) and Traugott Naunin (1929) that Gower was acquainted with the theories of medieval rhetoric, and presents additional evidence to confirm Macaulay's opinion that Gower was familiar with the "Poetria Nova" of Geoffrey Vinsauf. Gower made extensive use of rhetorical colors.
