Description

Explore how Geoffrey Chaucer, John Gower, and Thomas Hoccleve engaged with fourteenth-century London's thriving commercial landscape through their writings. This Routledge study examines how these three literary figures encountered daily commerce-buying, selling, and navigating fraud-and how these experiences shaped their works. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales reveal the pervasive influence of markets on personal relationships, whilst Gower's writings both praise trade and warn of fraud's damage to commerce. Hoccleve's poetry captures the tension of surviving on a modest London salary whilst surrounded by market temptations. This scholarly work connects medieval literature to economic history, showing how trade practices and commercial anxieties influenced some of England's greatest medieval poets and their artistic output.
