While on temporary duty with the US Army in Stuttgart, Germany, a fellow employee asked if I planned to take a side trip to the little village of Conques in south-central France to visit the Ste Foy Church. The Ste Foy Church? I asked. I had never heard about Ste Foy of Conques. All my life people had questioned me on the origin of my name since it was so unusual. I shared my aunts name, but the family had no idea of the origin. More significantly, when I was 18 years old, living in the Philippines, I converted to the Catholic faith. The priest that baptized me told me that Foye was not a Christian name and I should select another name under which to be baptized. So imagine my surprise to find out years later that I had been given a saints name. I never made the trip to Conques, but I started collecting as much information as I could about Ste Foy. I fell in love with her story and decided to write this book for my granddaughter who shares my name.
That the poet John Gower was a major literary figure in England at the close of the fourteenth century is no longer in question. Scholarly attention paid to him and to his work over the past twenty- five years has redeemed him from an undeserved obscurity imposed by the preceding two hundred. The facts of his life and career are now documented, and recent critical assessment has placed his achievement most accurately alongside Chaucer's, Langland's, and the Gawain- poet's. Unique among his contemporaries, all of whom undoubtedly read and used French in some measure, Gower alone has left us a significant body of verse and prose in Anglo-Norman; chiefly, the twelve-stanza poem Mirour de l-Omme, the Cinkante Balades, and the Traitié pour les amantz marietz. We are offered in this concordance of his Anglo- Norman work a unique opportunity to view a poetic language as it was written and read in England until Gower's death in 1408 and beyond.
