Extractions: The purpose of this study is to give some idea of the richness and variety of the national collection of English literary manuscripts. As a representative body of material drawn from the whole course of imaginative literature written in English in Britain, the holdings of the National Library cannot be matched elsewhere. They range in a date from the earliest specimens of Anglo-Saxon to drafts of work by living authors. They include manuscripts by Scottish, Irish and Welsh writers, such as Robert Burns, James Joyce and Dylan Thomas. They cover every variety of prose, verse and drama. And they embrace every possible type of literary document, from medieval illuminated texts and autograph fair copies to annotated typescripts and corrected proofs. As a result, they are of interest equally as much to the editor and textual critic as to the literary historian, the biographer and the student of handwriting. Some of the manuscripts have interesting, even extraordinary, histories. Two of the very finest, both belonging to the later 15th century, were discovered quite independently in 1934. The autobiography of Margery Kempe turned up in a cupboard of household oddments, while the owner was searching for ping-pong balls; and the unique manuscript of Malorys
Extractions: The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Saviour and St Mary Overie, Southwark. A church has stood on the site of Southwark Cathedral for over 1,000 years. It has the distinction of being the first 'gothic' church to be built in London. Southwark Cathedral contains several remarkable tombs and monuments. Among them, is that of John Gower (c 1330 - 1408) which shows the poet and friend of Chaucer. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales begin in Southwark. Across the nave is a memorial to William Shakespeare, who spent much of his life here, and a stained glass window depicting scenes from his plays. Edmond Shakespeare, John Fletcher and Thomas Massinger are buried here. Lancelot Andrews, who translated the first five books of the Bible into English, is buried by the High Altar. He is a founding father of the Church of England. In the year 2001 new facilities will be opened beside a clean and floodlit church. The Millennium Commission has given grant assistance by committing £3.9 million to be matched by the Cathedral Appeal in order to provide: a Visitor Centre, Refectory, Library, Shop, access for disabled people throughout all the buildings and the church for the first time ever and to recover a view of the north transept window from the River and London Bridge. Such a move forward will enable the Cathedral's ministry to be enlarged for the local community, congregation, schools, diocese and visitors.

The Millennium Library: Who's Who - John Gower John Gower. c. 1330 1408. Middle English poet. It is thought that John Gower wasborn in Kent, but the details of his early life are uncertain. http://www.millenniumlibrary.co.uk/millib/reference/info/John Gower/2
Extractions: show links: authors texts terms none ... Glossary It is thought that John Gower was born in Kent, but the details of his early life are uncertain. Documentary sources show that he became wealthy, possibly through trade, and that he acquired land and properties. He inherited Kentwell manor at Long Melford in Suffolk, bought land in Kent in 1378, and earned money from rents in Essex. Gower had access to those in power: he attended the court of Richard II and in 1393 he was in the service of Henry, Earl of Derby. From about 1377 he lived in the Priory of St Mary Overy, Southwark, and following his marriage to Agnes Groundolf they lived there together until Gower's death. Gower wrote three major works in English, French, and Latin. His first was 'Le Mirour de l'Omme' or 'Speculum Meditantis' (1376-9), a didactic moral poem in French that examines the seven deadly sins, discusses their effect upon humankind, and proposes a way to achieve redemption. 'Vox Clamantis' (1379-82) is composed in Latin elegiac stanzas; and contrasts sin with virtue in a tone that suggests nostalgia for a bygone age. In Book One of 'Vox Clamantis', written after the Peasant's Revolt of 1381, Gower focuses upon social unrest in England and at one point describes rioters as monsters and wild beasts caught up in a kind of madness. Like Chaucer, Gower was influenced by classical authors and 'Confessio Amantis' (1386-90/93) is clearly indebted to Ovid's 'Metamorphoses'. Although it discusses love, Amans, the poem's hero, is figured as a different kind of lover to those described by Boccaccio; Gower's interest lies in 'courtly love', which is more meditative than physical.

Cummings Pericles, Prince of Tyre, accepts a challenge to solve a riddle and thereby win the hand of the daughter of Antiochus, King of Antioch. Gower, a narrator who appears at the beginning of each of the five acts, describes her as a breathtaking beauty. Anyone desiring to marry her must first solve the riddle. There's a catch, though. If a suitor provides the wrong answer to the riddle, he will be decapitated and his head hung high for all to see. In the presence of the king and his daughter, Pericles risks all and reads the riddle:
