John Gower (c.1330-1408) and John Lydgate (c.1370-c.1449) were poets. In this 1969 comparative study, Derek Pearsall explores the life and work of these two writers, assessing their significant contribution to the history of English Literature.
A volume in the Writers and Their Work series, which draws upon recent thinking in English studies to introduce writers and their contexts. Each volume includes biographical material, an examination of recent criticism, a bibliography and a reappraisal of a major work by the writer.
