520 _a"Confessio Amantis; Or, Tales of the Seven Deadly Sins" by John Gower is a 33,000-line Middle English poem composed between 1386 and 1390. An aging lover confesses to Venus's chaplain, creating a framework for dozens of narrative tales. Commissioned by King Richard II, this work stands among the greatest achievements of late 14th-century English literature. Written in plain style with octosyllabic couplets, it was one of the most copied manuscripts before printing, rivaling Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" in popularity and sharing several stories with it.
