Description

This comprehensive catalogue provides the first complete descriptive guide to English manuscripts of John Gower's Confessio Amantis, one of medieval literature's most significant works. Written around the time Geoffrey Chaucer composed the Canterbury Tales, the Confessio Amantis survives in numerous extant manuscripts. While G. C. Macaulay documented forty known manuscripts in the nineteenth century, many descriptions were brief and incomplete. This scholarly publication, winner of the 2022 John Hurt Fisher Award from the John Gower Society, offers detailed feature descriptions of each manuscript, providing essential reference material for students, researchers, and medievalists studying this foundational English poem and its textual history.
