- Description
- Assesses Gower's artistry in several tales of the "Confessio Amantis," including analysis of Gower's tale of Constance in comparison with Trevet's version and Chaucer's MLT. Argues that Gower's tale is more unified than Chaucer's and more purely hagiographical; his characterization of the protagonist evokes less pathos than Chaucer's and lacks Chaucer's ironies.
