John Gower's Confessio Amantis (The Lover's Confession) is one of the most important English works of the C14th. Within its frame of the lovesick lover's confession are well over a hundred stories which exemplify the Middle Ages. This is the first translation of the entire (33,000-line) Middle English poem, including its Latin verses and glosses.
