This volume presents a portion of 'The English Works of John Gower,' specifically, the Prologue and the first five books of 'Confessio Amantis' up to line 1970. John Gower (c. 1330 - October 1408) was an English poet, a contemporary of William Langland and Geoffrey Chaucer, and is remembered primarily for three major works, the 'Mirour de l’Omme', the 'Vox Clamantis', and the 'Confessio Amantis', all written in different languages (Anglo-Norman French, Latin, and Middle English, respectively). 'Confessio Amantis', Gower’s best-known work, is a 33,000-line Middle English poem that uses the structure of a Christian confession as a framework. Through the framing device of a despairing lover confessing to Genius, the priest of Venus, Gower explores a wide range of themes relevant to the late medieval period. This edition offers readers a valuable resource for understanding Gower’s contributions to English literature and the intellectual landscape of his time.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
