Fathers And Daughters In Gower's "Confessio Amantis"
Fathers and daughters are central to some of the most significant tales in Gower's poem. Using feminist and anthropological approaches, this book argues that father-daughter relationships, and the associated theme of incest that they suggest, enable Gower to examine authority relationships in three interconnected spheres: family, state, and text.
