Everyone’s heard of Geoffrey Chaucer, but he wasn’t the only poet writing powerful and political verse in fourteenth-century London. This week, Danièle speaks with Eve Salisbury and Georgiana Donavin about John Gower, his poetry, and why we should all get to know him.
Eve Salisbury is Professor of English, Emerita, at Western Michigan University. You can follow her on Twitter @EveSalisbury
