- Description
- Compares Genius of Gower's "Confessio Amantis" with Chaucer’s Parson of CT in order to disclose Gower's "views concerning priests," arguing that both characters are idealized models of "proper pastoral care" and, perhaps, the result of conversations between the poets about the "responsibilities
of the secular clergy."
