Table of ContentsPreface: Gower in Context - Sian Echard and Stephen Rigby Chronology of Gower's Life Records - Martha Carlin Gower's Life - Martha Carlin Gower's Works - Stephen Rigby Nobility and Chivalry - David Green The Peasants and the Great Revolt - Mark Bailey Towns and Trade - James Davis Men of Law - Anthony Musson The Papacy, Secular Clergy and Lollardy - David N Lepine Monastic Life - Martin Heale The Friars - Jens U. Rohrkasten Women and Power - Katherine J. Lewis Masculinity - Christopher Fletcher Political Theory - Stephen Rigby Gower, Richard II and Henry IV - Michael J Bennett Natural Sciences - Seb Falk Select BibliographyReviewsA rich and substantial addition not only to Gower scholarship but also to our knowledge of late fourteenth-century England. * SEHEPUNKTE * Historians on John Gower provides a superb reassessment of how Gower's work might be read in its historical context. * REVIEW OF ENGLISH STUDIES * These original and focused essays will be of great interest to both students and scholars of Gower. * MEDIUM AEVUM * [T]his is an impressive collection that contributes substantially to Gower studies, and to our understanding of the historical contexts for much late medieval English literature generally. * SPECULUM * The fourteen essays (plus a calendar of life records) are informed by consistent awareness of parallels between Gower's works, on the one hand, and chronicles and documentary records on the other, accompanied by careful attention to previous scholarship, judicious cross-referencing between the essays, a comprehensive index, and illustrative figures in color and black and white. The John Gower that emerges from the essays is not an unfamiliar one-a traditionalist moral poet-but one that is more nuanced and more ambivalent in his outlooks, perhaps, than is usually observed. * JOHN GOWER NEWSLETTER * Historians on John Gower [...] is a major contribution to Gower studies as well as to researchers interested in the pivotal historical moment in which the poet lived and worked. This is a collection that brings imaginative literature together with historical documentation to provide a more comprehensive view of one of the most important public voices of the time. * STUDIES IN THE AGE OF CHAUCER * It is not an exaggeration to say that this will immediately be a requisite volume for anyone working on Gower. [...] [I]t provides such rich ground to explore. * THE YEARBOOK OF LANGLAND STUDIES * Historians on John Gower, a large, sturdy, and often foundational (or, at times, re-foundational) set of essays on Gower's life, works, contexts, and outlooks demonstrates many of the virtues of the disciplinary crossover into history that literary scholars often invite or instigate but that rarely come from the other side. [...] The results here are excellent. * Journal of British Studies * "A rich and substantial addition not only to Gower scholarship but also to our knowledge of late fourteenth-century England. * SEHEPUNKTE * Historians on John Gower provides a superb reassessment of how Gower's work might be read in its historical context. * REVIEW OF ENGLISH STUDIES * These original and focused essays will be of great interest to both students and scholars of Gower. * MEDIUM AEVUM * [T]his is an impressive collection that contributes substantially to Gower studies, and to our understanding of the historical contexts for much late medieval English literature generally. * SPECULUM * The fourteen essays (plus a calendar of life records) are informed by consistent awareness of parallels between Gower's works, on the one hand, and chronicles and documentary records on the other, accompanied by careful attention to previous scholarship, judicious cross-referencing between the essays, a comprehensive index, and illustrative figures in color and black and white.
