- Review
- Gower is a moral poet, deeply concerned with the welfare of soul and state. Highly influenced by romance styles of the Continent, particularly dream visions, he is representative of his times in not giving us much personal revelation in his poetry, despite his use of the first person and his naming Amans in CA John Gower.
