Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the sources used in John Gower's "Confessio Amantis," an influential work in Middle English literature. The author analyzes the tales of Trojan War legends found in Gower's work, offering evidence to support the theory that they are based on the Old French "Roman de Troie" by Benoit de Sainte-More, rather than on other influential medieval works like Guido delle Colonne's "Historia Destructionis Troiae." The author's close examination of the texts reveals not only the specific source material used by Gower, but also provides insight into his methods of adaptation and his motives for choosing certain tales. This thorough and well-supported study sheds light on the complex relationship between medieval authors and their sources. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
