- Published
- John Gower, The Medieval Poet (Tokyo: Shinozaki Shorin, 1976), pp. 101-18.
- Description
- Compares Gower's art and skill in using rhyme royal stanzas with Chaucer's, arguing that Chaucer's are superior and more flexibly adapted to narrative, largely because the "fetters of the ballade stanza" constrain Gower's dexterity. Originally published in Japanese: Gower and Rime Royal. Bulletin of College of General Education, Tohoku University 12 (1971), pp. 47-65.
