“The Complete Works of John Gower, Volume 1: The French Works” by John Gower is a scholarly collection of texts written in the late 14th century. This volume primarily focuses on Gower’s contributions in French, including significant works like the “Mirour de l’Omme,” which addresses moral themes and reflects the social realities of that period. The collection is aimed at both literary scholars and general readers interested in medieval literature, and it presents a comprehensive view of Gower’s influence on the development of English language and literature. At the start of this volume, the editor, G.C. Macaulay, provides a detailed preface explaining the rationale behind publishing Gower’s French works alongside his English texts. It highlights the significance of the “Mirour de l’Omme,” described as a moral treatise divided into ten parts discussing human vices, virtues, and the need for reconciliation with God. The introduction outlines the structure of Gower’s thought and draws connections between his works in different languages, suggesting a cohesive philosophy underlying his writing that critiques societal norms and explores the moral landscape of humanity. This foundational context sets the stage for the exploration of Gower’s literary contributions throughout the rest of the volume. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
