- Review
- Gower's trilinguality proves Chaucer could have written in other languages. Gower shows self-consciousness of poet's art; Deschamps is a model for CB; Gower is a purveyor of classical learning greater than Chaucer; like Chaucer, he helped to establish the idea of a poet for England, and for all time. Both followed as examples for Lydgate, Hoccleve, Dunbar, and others. [RFY1981]
