John Gower (c.1330-1408), born the son of a rich Yorkshire family, lived in Kent throughout the first half of his life. From 1377 onwards he lived at the priory of St. Mary Overie's in Southwark. At the age of 70 he went blind. He was a benefactor to the priory and was buried in its church (today: St. Saviour's). He was known at court, he knew Richard II personally and was a friend of Chaucer, who dedicated his Troilus and Criseyde to him. 'Moral Gower', as Chaucer called him, is most famous for his masterly use of three languages (Latin, French and English). In each language he wrote one major work criticising the political and social conditions of his time. His best-known works are the Mirour de l'Omme Speculum Meditantis c.1376-8), an allegory of about 32,000 lines in French about fallen man, his virtues and vices; the Vox Clamantis (c.1379-81) of 10,265 lines in Latin dealing with politics and kingship, especially the early reign of Richard II and the Peasants' Revolt of 1381; and the English Confessio Amantis (c.1390), 33,000 lines of a lover's confession to Genius, the priest of Venus. Among his shorter poems are the Anglo-Norman

The Mediadrome Search WWW Poems of the Week: Valentines by John Stringer This week includes St. Valentines Day, so there is really no choice as to the subject for our poems. Valentine the historical figure is somewhat blurred. There appear to have been two (or three) early Christian martyrs with this name. Probably the best documented is one who, with St. Marius, assisted early Christians under persecution by Claudius II. He was arrested, and since he would not renounce his faith, he was condemned to be beaten with clubs, and then beheaded. This happened on February 14th, in about 270 A.D., which was also the last of the two years Claudius II was Caesar. Pope Julius I (333-356) is said to have built a church in his memory, at what is now the Porta del Popolo. There was also a Pope called Valentine, but he was only Pope for about 40 days; he died in 827. There was a Roman love festival on February 15th, called Lupercalia. In the manner of the early Church, Pope Gelasius, in 496 A.D. changed the date to the 14th, and called it Saint Valentine's Day; Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. It was believed that the martyr was also a physician, and he used to be invoked against blindness and epilepsy.

Encyclopedia Library Reference Teaching ... HOME Chapter Eight of Backgrounds to Chaucer , Peter G. Beidler, Lehigh University 8. Corrupt Clerics John Gower (1330-1408) was a friend of Chaucer's and a fellow poet. His Confessio Amantis ("The Lover's Confession") bears some resemblance to the Canterbury Tales , for it is a collection of tales in Middle English loosely bound within a fictional narrative framework. Gower also wrote, in French, the Miroir de l'homme ("The Mirror of Man") and, in Latin, the Vox clamantis ("The Voice of One Crying"). In this last work, a poem of well over 10,000 lines, Gower presents a dream-vision of the 1381 Peasants' Revolt and then offers many lines of social and religious criticism. Here is the ideal priest as described by Gower: A priest's honor is great, and his power is even greater, if he remains pious and good, and far removed from vices. With their hands they perform rites of the highest sacrament, through which the flesh is made one with God by a word. And they can take away the sin for which our first parent fell, by the sacred purification of baptism. . . . They are the salt of the earth, by which we on earth are seasoned; without their savor man could scarcely be seasoned. . . . They are Jacob's ladder with its many steps, reaching to the heights of heaven; by them the pathway will lie revealed.

Places and People of the Play Although Pericles, Prince of Tyre is a fictional story, most of the locations and at least three of the characters are real, and Pericles' travels would have been possible. This region is among the most contested lands of modern times and remains a site of interest. The story of the play is set in approximately 200 BC, while its narrator, John Gower , lived circa 1330-1408. Gower, an English poet, was a great friend and colleague of Chaucer's. The eighth book of his Confessio Amantis (Confession of a Lover) tells a Pericles-like tale drawn from a Greek source, so he is a natural narrator for this play. Pericles -The historical Pericles led democratic Athens during its Golden Age from 460 to 429 BC but does not relate to the Pericles of the play, except perhaps symbolically. Antioch -A relatively new city at the time of the play, Antioch was the capitol of the Seleucid Empire and a major intellectual and cultural center. The reigns of Antiochus I and Antiochus II were marked by military occupation, chaos, and killing, but Antiochus III (the Great) , who considered himself a second Alexander, conquered neighboring regions and built the city to glory. Antioch was, however, famed for licentious behavior, and Antiochus the Great indeed died in defeat, at the hands of his people. His son, Antiochus IV, died a particularly gruesome death as well, which is described in the Bible and would have been known to Shakespeare's audiences. The city remains today as Antakya in southern Turkey.

A principios de siglo, 1906, se fundó el partido laboralista (Labour Party), a propuesta de diputados sindicalistas que vieron la necesidad de dotarse de una organización de carácter político. En este marco, el gobierno llevó a cabo una importante serie de reformas: mejoras salariales, limitación del poder de los lores (Acta del Parlamento, 1911), etc. Desde finales del s. XIX, el Reino Unido empezó a sentir la competencia de nuevas potencias industriales: E.U.A. y, sobre todo, Alemania. En cuanto al conflicto con Irlanda del Norte, a pesar de los constantes atentados del IRA (Ejército Republicano Irlandés), la actitud de Thatcher fue, en general, de dureza. A finales de 1990, con una coyuntura económica y social poco favorable y con la falta de apoyo de su partido, Thatcher renunció a la jefatura del gobierno y la asumió John Major, que fue confirmado en el cargo tras las elecciones de 1992. Mayor tuvo grandes problemas, con su propio partido político, para ratificar el tratado de Maastrich en mayo de 1994: los euroescépticos lograron colocar contra las cuerdas al primer ministro, que se vio obligado a solicitar un moción de confianza a la cámara en julio. En el transcurso de ese mismo mes, la cámara rechazó una enmienda laborista para adoptar la "Carta social europea". En septiembre, el IRA declaró un alto el fuego total e incondicional; la noticia cambió radicalmente las perspectivas en el conflicto norirlandés y Major, que ya había abierto conversaciones con el gobierno irlandés, inició las consultas con los partidos del Ulster. El gobierno británico y el irlandés, de común acuerdo, propusieron cimentar el proyecto de paz sobre las bases de otorgar, a las dos comunidades norirlandesas, la capacidad de decidir su propio futuro.

T HE R ARE B OOK AND M ANUSCRIPT L IBRARY OF C OLUMBIA U NIVERSITY Treasures John Gower Confessio amantis English manuscript on vellum, 171 leaves, England, ca. 1400 (Plimpton 265) John Gower was a contemporary and acquaintance of Chaucer, and, although his poetic gifts did not equal Chaucer's, he stands as a major figure in the history of literature who helped mold his Middle English dialect into the national literary language. Confessio amantis consists of a series of 112 allegorical tales set within the framework of a dialogue between the poet and a priest of Venus, taking as its theme various aspects of the notion of love. Drawn from history, legend, scripture and classical mythology, the thirty thousand rhymed lines, divided into a prologue and eight books, were composed probably in 1383 and 1384 at the request of Richard II. This manuscript, which extends from line 504 of the Prologue to line 2,791 of Book VIII, is of special interest since it may have been prepared during the poet's lifetime. Written in an English gothic minuscule hand, it contains full page illuminated floral borders and, on folio 2 verso, a miniature of the statue of which King "Nabugodonor" (Nebuchadnezzar) dreamed.
