The Gower Project is a consortium of European and North American scholars investigating the effects of new technologies and cutting edge theoretical perspectives on the reading of and research into John Gower’s poetry.
Our various web sites, each devoted to a separate aspect of our work, demonstrate hypertextual responses to Gower's poems and offer online aids for teaching and research.
This site, maintained by Georgiana Donavin at Westminster College, is our Home and Resources Page. It hosts the latest Project news, links to a variety of Gower sites, and an updated bibliography on the most recent scholarly work on Gower's poems.
Gower Project Highlights
Friend "John Gower" on Facebook!
The Gower Project sponsored two sessions at the 2013 Congress in Kalamazoo: "Gower and Gender" and "Historiographical Gower."
MLA President Michael Berube chose to include Gower Project session S615 entitled “Enabling Access: Gower and Premodern Disability Studies” in a brochure about this year's presidential theme.
The Gower Project is establishing an online journal entitled Accessus: A Journal of Premodern Literature and New Media.
Gower Project members may find the cfp for the third international congress on Gower studies here.
The Gower Project has created a new site. The Gower Project Translation Wiki is an open forum for modern translations of John Gower's Major works Miroir de l'Omme, Vox Clamantis, and Confessio Amantis can be presented to the wiki community with ease and open communication. Please email Georgiana Donavin to be made a member of the Gower Project Translation wiki.
