title = "John Shirley and John Gower",
abstract = "This essay revisits the question of the authorship of the short Middle English poem, 'Passe forth thou pilgrim', attributed to John Gower in its earliest surviving manuscript by the scribe John Shirley. The modern editor of Gower's works, G. C. Macaulay, dismissed the notion of Gower's authorship, resulting in the poem's subsequent neglect. This article covers questions of authorship, attribution, and authenticity.",
