Synopsis
Contents
Contributing Authors

The complete text of John Gower’s Confessio Amantis is a 3-volume edition, including all Latin components – with translations – of this bilingual poem and extensive glosses, bibliography, and explanatory notes. Volume 3 contains Books 5, 6, and 7, which follow another kind of development as Gower shifts from romance banter and formulaic confession to philosophical inquiry.
