{"product_id":"john-gower-in-manuscripts-and-martha-driver-9781843845539","title":"John Gower in Manuscripts and Early Printed Books","description":"Essays considering the relationship between Gower's texts and the physical ways in which they were first manifested. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe media in which Gower's works were first transmitted, whether in print of manuscript form, are of vital importance to an understanding of both the poet and his audience. However, in comparison with those of his contemporary Chaucer, they have been relatively little studied.\u003cbr\u003e This volume represents a major collaboration between specialist scholars in manuscript and book history, and experts in Gower more generally, breaking new ground in approaching Gower through first-hand study of his publications in manuscript and print. Its chapters consider such matters as manuscript and book illumination, provenance, variant texts and editions, scribes, and printers, looking at how, and to what degree, the materiality of the vellum, paper, ink and binding illuminates - and even implicates - the poet and his poetry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e MARTHA DRIVER is Distinguished Professor of English and Women's and Gender Studies at Pace University; the late DEREK PEARSALL was Gurney Professor of English Literature, Emeritus, Harvard University; R.F.
