Published

Description
Examines glosses of John Gower’s English text of "Confessio Amantis" and Chaucer’s CT, especially MLT, and claims that Chaucer and Gower "are acutely aware of the risks, and sometimes the pleasures, of misprision or queer (mis)interpretation" as they develop "ideas of authority" in their poetry.
