Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Confessio Amantis of John Gower, Vol. 1: Edited and Collated With the Best Manuscripts The materials for a biography of John Gower the poet are scanty, and quite inefficient for a sketch of his personal history; and his writings contain very few of those allusions to himself which are so frequently met with in similar works. The date of his birth is unknown, and within seventy years of his death his descent and the place of his birth seem to have been entirely forgotten. Caxton, who in 1483 printed the first edition of the Consessio Amantis, styles him, Johan Gower squyer borne in Walys in the tyme of kyng ricbard the second; Gower being the name of a family of some repute, resident in a district of South Wales called Gowerland, which occurs occasionally in the public records of the poet´s day; but beyond Caxton´s assertion, no proof that he was a native of the principality is known to exist.
