Confessio Amantis is a medieval poem written by John Gower in the 14th century. This book is the second volume of the 1857 edition of the poem, edited by Dr. Reinhold Pauli. The poem is written in Middle English and is a collection of tales and moral lessons, framed as a confession by the narrator to a priest. The tales cover a wide range of subjects, including love, politics, and religion, and are often accompanied by lengthy discussions of their moral implications. The Confessio Amantis is notable for its use of classical mythology and its commentary on contemporary social issues. This edition includes extensive notes and glossaries to aid in understanding the language and historical context of the poem.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
