A Companion to Gower
No full textRobert Epstein is a contributing author, “London, Southwark, Westminster: Gower’s Urban Contexts”.
Book description:
Chaucer, Gower and Lydgate were the three poets of their time considered to have founded the English poetic tradition. Gower, like Lydgate, eventually fell victim to changing tastes but is now enjoying renewed scholarly attention. Current work in manuscript studies, linguistic studies, vernacularity, translation, politics, and the contexts of literary production has found a rich source in Gower\u27s trilingual, learned, and politically engaged corpus. This Companion to Gower offers essays by scholars from Britain and North America, covering Gower\u27s works in all three of his languages; they consider his relationships to his literary sources, and to his social, material and historical contexts; and they offer an overview of the manuscript, linguistic, and editorial traditions. Five essays concentrate specifically on the Confessio Amantis, Gower\u27s major Middle English work, reading it in terms of its relationship to vernacular and classical models, its poetic style, and its treatment of such themes as politics, kingship, gender, sexuality, authority, authorship and self-governance. A reference bibliography, arranged as a chronology of criticism, concludes the volume.https://digitalcommons.fairfield.edu/english-books/1075/thumbnail.jp
The “strophe d’Hélinand” and John Gower
No full textCet essai montre que le poète anglais de la fin du xive siècle John Gower, auteur du Mirour de l’Omme, le dernier et le plus long exemple connu de poème en strophes d’Hélinand, connaissait en entier Les Vers de la Mort, probablement par un manuscrit issu d’un monastère cistercien. Ainsi il est possible d’envisager non seulement comment Gower a fait sienne l’efficacité moralisatrice de la strophe d’Hélinand, mais aussi les modifications rhétoriques qu’il y a apportées, en l’adaptant à ses besoins particuliers.This essay argues that the late 14th-century English poet John Gower, author of the Mirour de l’Omme, the latest and longest known example of a poem using the strophe d’Hélinand, knew the Vers de la Mort in full, probably in a manuscript from a Cistercian monastery. Thus it is possible to consider not only how Gower absorbed the moralizing effectiveness of strophe d’Hélinand but also the rhetorical modifications he made to it, in re-conforming it to his own particular uses

Global dynamics in the leslie-gower model with the allee effect
No full textWe complete the global bifurcation analysis of the Leslie-Gower system with the Allee effect which models the dynamics of the populations of predators and their prey in a given ecological or biomedical system. In particular, studying global bifurcations of limit cycles, we prove that such a system can have at most two limit cycles surrounding one singular point.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Numerical Analysi

The author portraits in the Bedford Psalter-Hours: Gower, Chaucer and Hoccleve
No full textAN inscribed portrait of John Gower, literary champion of Lancastrian kingship, provides the key to the reading of the unique illustrative programme of the Duke of Bedford's Psalter-Hours, Add. MS. 42131, the only manuscript he is known to have commissioned in England. Two hundred and ninety of the 300 minor text divisions are illustrated with portrait heads; a national portrait gallery of Lancastrian friends and foes is concealed in the initials of carefully selected texts. Many of the portraits are repeated, creating distinct subtexts; Gower himself appears ten times as prophet, preacher, and penitent lending the weight of his moral authority to the imagery. The depiction of contemporaries within the text of the Psalter is almost without precedent in the Middle Ages; the exception is in a Bible which was probably made for the Duke's father, Henry IV, by the artist of the inscribed portrait of Gower. This invasion of scriptural text defies convention and, it might be argued, good taste
