- Review
- Here the CA is read dramatically, as a debate and drama between Amans and Genius, two characters of opposing philosophies. Eventually Genius wins: “Gower . . . causes the tales to illustrate the futility of seeking earthly wisdom and the necessity of accepting divine wisdom as it is revealed in the teachings of the church.” [RFY1981]
