“…He argues that it was written "certainly before the Percys' revolt of the summer of 1403 and probably before Henry's troubles with the Franciscans of Leicester in 1402. "52 Subsequent treatments of the work have accepted Grady's and Strohm's post-1400 dating, though recently, for a number of different reasons, Jennifer Nuttall, David Carlson, and Michael Livingston have again recommended moving the poem nearer to Henry's coronation.…”

John Gower (c. 1330–1408) wrote two poems in English, the massive Confessio Amantis , and the short In Praise of Peace . Confessio Amantis is structured as the confession of a lover, Amans, to Genius, the priest of Venus. Through that confession, it puts amorous poetry (drawn especially from French literature) into dialogue with clerical discourses (drawn mostly from Latinate political and moral literature). In Praise of Peace draws upon political and moral literature to urge Henry IV to rule peacefully. Most scholarship on Gower's English poetry deals with the Confessio Amantis , and the coherence of its moral, political, and poetic program. Scholarship on In Praise of Peace attends to problems of Gower's political ideology and considers it in the context of the beginning of Lancastrian rule in England.
