Description
Examines Gower's and Chaucer's uses of the conventions of "dits amoureux" and their composition of "religious pastoralia," especially in the "Confessio Amantis" and CT, respectively, where Gower integrates "his satirical and devotional writings, while Chaucer presents the relationship between poetry and morality as a problem to which no lasting resolution is available." Also considers Thomas Clanvowe.
