About Mirour de l'Omme

Mirour de l'Omme, which has the Latin title Speculum Meditantis, is an Anglo-Norman poem of 29,945 lines written in iambic octosyllables by John Gower. Gower's major theme is man's salvation. Internal evidence suggests that composition was completed before 1380. G. C. Macaulay discovered the only manuscript in the Cambridge University Library. Only part of the poem survives; the conclusion has been lost.
