John Gower was Chaucer's friend and fellow poet. He wrote his early works in Latin (Vox Clamantis) and French (Mirour de l'omme, Cinquante balades) and turned to English, he says (in the Prologue to the Confessio Amantis), at the command of Richard II, who was worried that there were so few books in that language.
Vox Clamantis, meaning the voice of one crying out, is a 10,000 line poem detailing Gower's reaction to the Peasants Revolt of 1381. The poem details the corruption in society that would lead the Peasants to assault London and the possible effects of a society removed from law and education.

The source of that stability is God, and He is. rediscovered by means of repentance. Gower is concerned with re-. covery, and the Vox Clamantis, by exploring the levels of human expe- rience represented by different ideas of place, allows us to have hope in recovery of a treasure that has been lost.
His prophetic voice (the vox clamantis) is not the only voice heard in the Visio; the text is divided between authoritative pronouncement and subjective lament, between Gower’s desire to assert order and his wish to articulate the experience of attachment to the world as events unfold in a disordered and uncontrolled way.
