The Assembly of Gods, which was published near the end of the fifteenth century, is an allegorical dream vision poem.

It is notable for its strange mixture of both classical and Christian sources, in which the classical pantheon debates over the moral state of an individual, in an attempt to bring Reson and Sensualyte into balance in the individual.

This text is suitable for all levels of students with its introduction explaining the cultural and linguistic context of the text, as well as a gloss and notes.

This volume is invaluable to those teaching courses on late medieval allegory and dream poems.
