Abstract:

Objectives: This paper aims at showing how the metrical regularity of Gower’s Confessio Amantis contributes to the standardization of Middle English language, which is known for its irregularity and lack of authority compared to French and Latin. Methods: The paper analyzes the metrical structure of the Confessio in an attempt to provide several textual pieces of evidence showing how the poem’s deceptive regularity and monotonous repetitiveness reflect the poet’s definition of his own poem as "A bok for Engelondes sake". Results: The paper confirms that the poem is a novel project at the servi

Abstract:

Despite its reputation as socially and politically conservative, John Gower’s fourteenth-century Confessio Amantis highlights sexual violence against women as a central cultural injustice and presents women’s rape narratives as a potentially powerful force for social and political change. This essay focuses on three of Gower’s tales in which women tell their own rape narratives with dramatic and lasting consequences: Mundus and Paulina, Tarquin and Lucrece, and Tereus and Philomena. In all three instances, these women’s narratives of suffering are socially transformative precisely because they

Abstract:

Abstract Modern scholarship on deliberative rhetoric in medieval England often examines traditions of counsel that emerged out of classical democratic norms. However, John Gower’s definition of rhetoric in book 7 of the Confessio amantis describes a deliberative rhetorical practice specifically adapted for use by an authoritative monarch. Drawing on his inherited Aristotelian tradition, Gower depicts an embodied theory of deliberative rhetoric that depends on a sovereign’s reasoned capacity for deliberation and dissemination of truth in plain language. He illustrates the political possibilitie

Abstract:

The stories we tell give meaning and coherence to our political situation; they reproduce, interrogate, and, at times, challenge the discourse of authority. Thus, when the political situation changes so do our narratives. In the thirteenth century, responding to a majestic rhetoric of vis et voluntas (force and will), the barons strengthened the community of the realm by turning it into a powerful collective identity that fostered political alliances with the gentry. By The Will of the King demonstrates how Ricardian poetry was shaped by and responded to the conflict between majestic and po

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to demonstrate that John Gower's Confessio Amantis is a work of great philosophical and poetic sophistication which is worthy of greater critical attention and esteem than it has so far received. It attempts to do this in a number of ways: firstly, it outlines some of the reasons that Gower's poem has been somewhat neglected; secondly, it looks at Gower within his literary context; thirdly, it examines the poem in the context of the poet's social, religious and political milieaux. By examining the poem from these perspectives, it is hoped that some critically useful in

Abstract:

Many critics have seen Confessio Amantis as a work of reformist rhetoric that, drawing deeply on medieval Aristotelian conflations of ethics and politics, urges readers toward personal moral reform as the crucial means by which to heal the body politic. In such a view, the moral and public interests on full display in Mirour de l’Omme, Vox Clamantis, and elsewhere remain central to Gower’s purpose in Confessio. However, while Mirour and Vox also foreground religious concerns, Confessio is often seen as “secular” in a modern sense. I argue in this dissertation that Confessio indeed bears strong

Abstract:

<p>This dissertation examines the use of personae, the rhetorical artifices by which an author creates different voices, in John Gower's Confessio Amantis. I argue that the Confessio attempts to expose how discourses of sexual desire alienate subjects from their proper place in the political world, and produce artificial personae that only appear socially engaged. The first three chapters consider the creation of the personae in the context of medieval Aristotelian political thought and the Roman de la Rose tradition. The last three chapters examine the extended discourse of Gower's primar

Abstract:

Abstract About the life of John Gower, Chaucer’s friend, little can be said with certainty. His family evidently had Yorkshire origins, but certain features of his language suggest a connection with Kent, where he purchased lands in 1378. In that year Chaucer, when setting out for Italy, gave power of attorney to Gower and a lawyer called Richard Forester. In his French poem, the Mirour de l’omme (21772—4), Gower says that he is not a ‘clerk’ but that he wears ‘la raye mance’, the distinctive dress of serjeants at law and certain court officials; and other documents and allusions confirm the s
