Excerpt from Complete Works: Edited From the Manuscripts With Introductions, Notes, and Glossaries by G. C. Macaulay
Considering, however, the extent to. Which the writings of this author in various languages illustrate one another, the help which is to be derived from the French works in dealing with the Romance element in the English not only of Gower, but also of Chaucer and other writers of the time, and the clearer View of the literary position of the Confessz'o A mantis which is gained by approaching it from the French side, I am now disposed to think that the Delegates were right in desiring a complete edition; and as for my own competence as an editor, I can only say that I have learnt much since I first undertook the work, and I have the satisfaction of knowing that I have avoided many errors into which I should once have fallen. For the faults that remain (i speak now of the contents of the present volume) I ask the indulgence of those who are more competent Romance scholars than myself, on the ground that it was clearly desirable under the cir cumstances that the French and the English should have the same editor: Moreover, I may fairly claim to have given faithful and intelligible texts, and if I have gone wrong in other respects, it has been chiefly because I have wished to carry out the principle of dealing with all difficulties fairly, rather than passing them over with out notice.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents three French works by the medieval poet John Gower: "Speculum Meditantis", "Cinkante Balades", and "Traitià pour Essampler les Amants Maries". Written in the latter half of the 14th century, these works provide a profound exploration of the human condition through the lens of morality, love, and spirituality. The "Speculum Meditantis", also known as "The Mirror of Mankind", is an encyclopedic treatise that delves into the nature of God, the world, and human existence. It stands as a comprehensive moral guide for the Middle Ages, offering insights into the virtues and vices that shape human character. The "Cinkante Balades" showcase the author's lyrical prowess, offering a nuanced exploration of love's complexities. These poems, written in French, demonstrate Gower's mastery of the ballade form and his ability to express both the joys and sorrows of romantic relationships. Finally, the "Traitià pour Essampler les Amants Maries" provides practical advice for married couples, highlighting the importance of mutual respect, fidelity, and communication. It offers a glimpse into the social and domestic values of the time and serves as a valuable resource for understanding medieval marital relationships. Together, these works provide a rich and multifaceted view of the human experience in the late Middle Ages, making this book an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the literary and cultural landscape of the period.
