Abstract

The article discusses Florence Converse's novel "Long Will: A Romance" (1903), which brings to life fourteenth-century English poets Chaucer, Gower, Langland, and the Gawain poet. The novel is structured around Langland's influence on the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, with a focus on Langland's daughter Calote. Converse's work explores the relationships between the poets, their literary contributions, and their interactions with historical events, offering a unique perspective on Ricardian poetry. The novel anticipates later scholarly discussions on the four poets, providing a detailed and independent-minded portrayal of vernacular verse culture in late fourteenth-century England.
