Compte rendu de cet ouvrage par Conrad van Dyk (Concordia University College of Alberta) dans The Medieval Review: TMR 2008.10.17


Extrait de l'introduction:

 “A significant value of continuing collections culled from “Gower at Kalamazoo” is the insight they provide, through comparison, into the shifts and trends of Gower scholarship over time. It would not be an exaggeration to observe that in the last two decades Gower studies have developed in response to a widening appreciation of his poetry, often spurred or supported by essays in the earlier two volumes of what might be called this “Kalamazoo series,” but responsive as well to the larger drifts and swells of literary-critical interests. . . . The topics addressed in these ten essays also provide grounds of another kind to assess the foci of contemporary Gower studies. Salient among them is the concern with representations of place, understood both as geography and as culture, in the poetry. . . . As well as place, the political element in Gower's writings has been subject to fruitful recent scrutiny; and again, there are important linkages and overlaps among these essays on such matter too. . . . [A]nother element discernable in common among these essays: their easy range over the whole of Gower's trilingual corpus. . . . Testimony at once of where Gower studies at their best have been as the twentieth century drew to a close, they anticipate as well the scholarly course of the next few years, the first of a new millennium."
