Inspired by the contemporary vogue for all things Indian - by the temples, palaces and gardens of the Hindustan - Repton produced a suite of detailed and beautiful designs. Despite the Prince's initial enthusiasm, however, neither Repton's architectural nor garden designs came to fruition, with John Nash (1752 - 1823) instead receiving the official commission. Recouping financial losses from the project, this publication was conceived, and this edition was reissued in 1822 to coincide with Nash's completion of the Royal Pavilion.

The Confessio Amantis was completed in 1390 and written at the command of King Richard II by John Gower (1325-1408). Gower wrote three major works: the Confessio Amantis in English, the Vox Clamantis in Latin and the Speculum Meditantis in French. All three books are shown on Gower's elaborate, decorated tomb in Southwark Cathedral. The Confessio Amantis was revised to include a dedication to Henry IV and other changes between 1390 and c.1393. 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.
