John Gower (c. 1330 October 1408) was an English poet and a friend of Geoffrey Chaucer. He is remembered primarily for three major works, the Mirroir de l'Omme, Vox Clamantis, and Confessio Amantis, three long poems written in French, Latin, and English respectively, which are united by common moral and political themes. Few details are known of Gower's early life, but he was well acquainted with the nobility of his day, including Richard II, who is mentioned in Confessio Amantis. Perhaps his most famous work, the Confessio Amantis ("The Lover's Confession") is a 33,000-line poem written as a confession made by an ageing lover to the chaplain of Venus, which tells the story of shorter narratives. It was composed at the request of Richard II and is considered one of the best works of English literature written in the 14th century. This edition of the Confessio Amantis is specially formatted with a Table of Contents.
