- Description
- Reiterates traditional discussions of similarities between LGW and John Gower's "Confessio Amantis," develops recent arguments of the importance of Anne of Bohemia to both poems (emphasizing Gower's), and uses these connections and others to argue that the "Confessio"--like LGW--was powerfully influenced by Guillaume de Machaut's "Jugement dou roi de Navarre."
