Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Gower, John (b. 1330?d. 1408, London?), medieval English poet in the tradition of courtly love and moral allegory, whose reputation once matched that of his contemporary and friend Geoffrey Chaucer, and who strongly influenced the writing of other poets of his day. After the 16th century his popularity waned, and interest in him did not revive until the middle of the 20th century. It is thought from Gower's language that he was of Kentish origin, though his family may have come from Yorkshire, and he was clearly a man of some wealth. Allusions in his poetry and other documents, however, indicate that he knew London well and was probably a court official. At one point, he professed acquaintance with Richard II, and in 1399 he was granted two pipes (casks) of wine a year for life by Henry IV as a reward for complimentary references in one of his poems. In 1397, living as a layman in the priory of St. Mary Overie, Southwark, London, Gower married Agnes Groundolf, who survived him. In 1400 Gower described himself as "senex et cecus" ("old and blind"), and on Oct. 24, 1408, his will was proved; he left bequests to the Southwark priory, where he is buried. Gower's three major works are in French, English, and Latin, and he also wrote a series of French

Gower, John From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (John Gielgud) Next (John Greenleaf Whittier) John Gower shooting the world, a sphere of earth, air, and water (from an edition of his works c.1400) John Gower (c.1330–October 1408) was an English poet who is remembered primarily for three major works, the Speculum Meditantis, Vox Clamantis, and Confessio Amantis, three long poems written in French, Latin, and English respectively. Gower's reputation as a poet has not been nearly as strong as his close contemporary Geoffrey Chaucer , even though the two collaborated quite closely and wrote in rather similar styles. Both were among the earliest poets to write in Middle English, a language which, prior to then, had been thought too vulgar to be capable of literary merit. Like Chaucer, Gower wrote in a style deeply influenced by the Latin and European classics, and he helped to introduce a number of new poetic techniques to the English-speaking world. His primary medium was allegory . Allegory in the Middle Ages served to synthesize ancient and pagan traditions to the Biblical tradition. Gower uses allegory as a means of reflecting on the problems of the church, state and the life of the commoners as well as to examine the spiritual problems and temptations that keep one from realizing the ideals of religion.

Apparently he was a Kentish landowner who lived in London until his last years, when he became blind and retired as a layman to the priory of St. Mary Overey. In the 15th and 16th cent. Gower was frequently paired with Chaucer as a master of English poetry. Each of his three major works, characterized by metrical smoothness and serious moral criticism, was written in a different language. Speculum Meditantis (or Miroir de l'omme, 28,603 French octosyllabic lines, written before 1381) is an allegorical manual of the vices and virtues; Vox Clamantis (10,265 Latin elegiac verses, written c.1381) expresses horror at the Peasants' Revolt led by Wat Tyler and goes on to condemn the baseness of all classes of society; Confessio Amantis, Gower's masterpiece (c.34,000 English lines, written c.1390) is a collection of stories that illustrate the Seven Deadly Sins.

Words skip - about - login - register 1812 Chalmer’s Biography G / John Gower [vol. 16, p. 142; majority text] Gower John , one of the few poets who flourished in the first periods of our poetical history, is supposed to have been born before Chaucer, but of what family, or in what part of the kingdom is uncertain. Leland was informed that he was of the ancient family of the Gowers of Stitenham, in Yorkshire , and succeeding biographers appear to have taken for granted what that eminent antiquary gives only as a report. Other particulars from Leland are yet more doubtful, as that he was a knight and some time chief justice of the common pleas; but no information respecting any judge of that name can be collected either in the reign of Edward II . during which he is said to have been on the bench, or afterwards. Weever asserts that he was of a Kentish family and, in Caxton’s edition of the “ Confessio Amantis, ” he is said to have been a native of Wales He appears, however, to have studied law, and was a member of the society of the Middle Temple , where it is supposed he met with, and acquired the friendship of Chaucer. The similarity of their studies, and their taste for poetry, were not the only bonds of union. Their political bias was nearly the same. Chaucer attached himself to

SUMMARY Peck concludes his three-volume treatment of Gower's great work by starting with the fifth book, taking the reader in a different direction than expected from the Ovidian tales of Book Four, in which Gower concentrated on the concepts of merely pleasing and being pleased. Book Five contains, instead, commentary on the means and benefits of living a good life. Gower's treatment of avarice and gluttony in all their forms opens the way to an extended study of the proper education and behavior of kings that is startling in its applicability to today. Peck's careful and comprehensive introduction, annotations, glossary, and references support rather than overshadow Gower's text, as do Galloway's clear and concise translations.

So far, I haven�t found evidence of any proof, so we will begin our chart with Abel Gower Sr. who was a colleague of Kasper Mansker who established an early fort in what is now Goodlettsville, Tennessee. Abel and his son Abel Jr. were both massacred by Indians 10 Nov 1780 while harvesting corn which been planted earlier that year by John Donelson on his claim at Clover Bottoms. There is a historical marker at that location. Abel Gower Sr. was born about 1720 probably in Brunswick County, Virginia and was killed in an Indian attack 10 Nov 1780 at Clover Bottom, now property of the State of Tennessee in eastern Davidson County.
