- Description
- Briefly surveys uses of Ovid in late-medieval England, and compares Chaucer's and John Gower's engagements with Ovid's works and moralized version of them. Focuses on creative uses of Ovid in Gower's "Vox Clamantis" (Book 1), in the Pyramus and Thisbe and the Theseus and Ariadne narratives in LGW and Gower's "Confessio Amantis," and in ManT and the analogous account in Gower's "Confessio."
