Reviews

A commendable first book.
*JOURNAL OF ENGLISH AND GERMANIC PHILOLOGY*

[An] extremely thoughtful study [and] a valuable contribution to Gower scholarship.
*MEDIUM AEVUM*

This immensely provocative study is filled with striking connections between approaches to the poem that are rarely brought together, illuminating studies of key words [...], and compelling readings of individual tales. [...] A splendid example of the vigour of new work on Gower.
*REVIEW OF ENGLISH STUDIES*

This is a well-written, scholarly book and a significant contribution to Gower studies. [...] Recommended.
*CHOICE*
