She demonstrates that Gower engaged in the sort of critical thinking more commonly associated with Chaucer and William Langland and contributes to modern debates about the ethics of criticism. 410 0$aMedieval cultures ;$vv. 38. 606 $aPolitics and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aEthics, Medieval, in literature 606 $aCourtly love in literature 606 $aPolitics in literature 606 $aSex in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aEthics, Medieval, in literature. 615 0$aCourtly love in literature. 615 0$aPolitics in literature. 615 0$aSex in literature. 676 $a821/.1 700 $aWatt$b Diane$f1965-$0886306 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452207403321 996 $aAmoral Gower$92121665 997 $aUNINA
