In addition to writing poetry in and translating amongst English, French, and Latin, Gower invented a plain style for Latin "public poetry" that was emulated by other Anglo-Latin poets. However, at the end of his career he rejected his own Latin-verse invention to take up the late scholastic style at the moment of its decadence." |
