- Review
- Gower’s poetry is of a “high artistic standard”; Gower is contrasted with Chaucer and Langland as thinkers and poetic stylists (compares CA III, 1243-51 with “Book of the Duchess” 1298-1310); Dido story is “an exemplum”; Chaucer read more Ovid, Virgil, and Statius than did Gower. [RFY1981]
