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 service of England through its contribution to the standardization of lewd Middle English. Also, it finds that Gower uses the techniques of rich rhyme, sight rhyme, rhyme repetition, and sentence inversion to regularize the varieties of Middle English and pave the way for its standardization. Conclusion: Against the conventional viewpoint concerning the overt regularity of Gower’s Confessio Amantis, the paper concludes that Gower deploys several linguistic and stylistic devices to incorporate the several variations of Middle English into one harmonious linguistic system, which explains why the poem is identified by its own poet as "A bok for Engelondes sake".

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 threaten the masculine chivalric ideal. For Gower, rape is a direct result of the cultural belief that aristocratic men can and should force the less powerful to submit to their desires for total political and sexual control. Far from trivializing rape or fetishizing women’s suffering, Gower repeatedly argues that rapes are violent acts against entire communities and that women’s rape narratives have the potential to transform and reform those very communities.

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 possibilities that accompany this rhetorical practice through his extended discussion of the Lucrece myth. By examining his English-language Fürstenspiegel, we can better understand the close relationship between symbolic interpretation, rhetorical practice, and virtue.

Abstract:

Abstract: John Gower's medium-length Latin poem O deus immense , little thought of even by most Gowerians, brings his career into focus. O deus immense synthesizes strands of Gower's self-presentation pursued far more diffusely in his titanic trilogy Mirour de l'omme – Vox clamantis – Confessio Amantis . The place Gower clears for poetry in 1398, 1399, or 1400—the date of O deus immense is uncertain, a point addressed here at length—is characterized by its public, monitory, prophetic, and enigmatic dimensions. Focusing on the historically remote genre of political prophecy, this essay compares O deus immense with other Gowerian and non-Gowerian English political verse in English and Latin datable to 1398–1400, including Bede's Prophecy , an anonymous rhyming English poem of 1400 inedited until recently and therefore, like O deus immense , not factoring into previous critical assessments of the poetry of the Lancastrian coup. Attending to the complex relationship between poetics and politics at the turn of the fifteenth century in England, the essay positions O deus immense as pivotal in Gower's career and essential for an evaluation of what he contributed to the first generation of Lancastrian poetry. Gower's "most significant role" in the field of English political poetry, 1398–1400, was as its leading theorist and most skillful advocate, a role he plays most assiduously in O deus immense ; but it is both a credit to his depth of ambition and an explanation of the often violent contortions of his late Latin style that Gower's arguments for a poetry of moral clarity, social urgency, and political muscle transcend the very ideological commitments that transparently motivate them.

Abstract:

Against the perspective that Gower’s Confessio Amantis is monotonous due to its regular meters and plain diction, this paper views the Confessio’s apparently regular meters as the main foundation of a prosodic structure that imitates the flow and development of the narrative’s plot. The paper reads several excerpts from “the Tale of Jason and Medea”, a representative piece of the Confessio, highlighting the use of certain metrical devices, such as the iamb, trochee, end-stop, caesura, enjambment, metrical stanza or paragraph, anaphora, and onomatopoeia. These devices, I believe, are used by Gower to control the tempo of meters as well as plot development of the narrative, which showcases how the poet espouses elocutio (form) to inventio (content) in a way that reflects the rhetorical value of harmonizing the two main components of the narrative instead of sacrificing one in favor of the other. The paper concludes that the Confessio’s apparent regularity is creatively deceptive, as it prioritizes neither form nor content at the cost of each other, but uses the former to highlight the central theme or concern of the latter. Keywords: Confessio Amantis, John Gower, prosody, Middle English poetry, stylistics, “Tale of Jason and Medea”
