- Review
- Gower was a moralist and a reformer, unlike Chaucer, who kept his poetry “above” moral indignation; compares Gower’s “Tale of Lucrece” to Chaucer’s versions the “Legend of Good Women”; argues that LGW was written prior to CA; compares the use of Ovid by Gower and Chaucer; says Gower’s poetry “plods.” [RFY1981]
