- Review
- Argues that Gower was not as up-to-date as Chaucer in the 1370s; since he is finishing MO and beginning VC, he is not yet writing in English. Man of Law’s Prologue contains a dig at Gower; Gower and Chaucer were friends, though perhaps some strain was there; Gower claims Chaucer as disciple; Gower was Chaucer’s attorney while Chaucer was in Italy; picture of Gower’s tomb [RFY1981]
