- Review
- Rather surprisingly, given the number of manuscripts of Gower's work, he receives scant mention here--perhaps because those who copied his poems were fully employed? It is interesting to read that "Scribe D" (Doyle and Parkes' identification and terminology), named John Marchaunt by Linne Mooney and Estelle Stubbs, "worked alongside Hoccleve himself on the Trinity Gower," i.e., Cambridge, Trinity College R.3.2 (101, and see also 132), an unexpected emphasis given how small Hoccleve's stint was in that manuscript.
