Gower wrote three major works: the Confessio Amantis in English, the Vox Clamantis in Latin and the Speculum Meditantis in French.

Gower's literary reputation was only matched by that of Chaucer, with whom he is frequently linked by later writers. The two poets did know each other, though Gower, possibly a lawyer by profession, was given power of attorney by Chaucer when he went to Italy in 1378.
