- Review
- Refers to F. J. Child's study of Gower (1867) to disagree with him that Chaucer's language was more archaic than Gower's; refers to Alexander Ellis (1871) to disagree; quotes John Spiers (1951) to show that Gower was a sophisticated reader, master of three languages, and created in a "highly developed English speech."
