Studies in the Age of Gower : A Festschrift in Honour of R.F. Yeager Hardback
Edited by Professor Susannah Mary (Contributor) Chewning
Part of the Publications of the John Gower Society series
Hardback
Description
New perspectives on one of the most important medieval poets. The essays in this volume pay tribute to the distinguished career of Professor R.F.
Yeager. Appropriately for one who has done so much to advance scholarship and critical debate on this poet, they focus on John Gower.
The approaches taken range widely, from poetics to palaeography, from close critical interpretation to ecocriticism, offering important new readings of Gower and his age.
Particular topics addressed include Gower's revisions to the Tale ofRosiphilee; theological and philosophical positions within Gower's work; the violence of manuscript images of Confessio Amantis; and the views of a fellow poet on Gower - Edward Thomas.
