- Review
- Chaucer knew well and used all of Gower's works, as Mann attempts to demonstrate through individual discussions of Chaucer's characters and of Gower's, taken from MO and VC primarily. Her concern is always to show not only likeness and dissimilarity, but also to place social context carefully as background and rationale for creation of character. [RFY1981]
