Description

Explore the relationship between commerce and morality in fourteenth-century England with Chaucer's Poetic Alchemy. This scholarly work examines how economic changes and the rise of trade influenced social structures and shaped the themes found within The Canterbury Tales. Originally published in 1988, this Routledge Library Edition investigates how Chaucer addressed the tension between material wealth and ethical standards. The text looks at the determination and transformation of value through the lens of contemporary social change and scholastic economic theory. By studying the two primary enterprises Chaucer defines as motivating forces, readers gain a deeper understanding of how economic conduct was formulated during this period of history. This book serves as a detailed resource for those interested in the intersection of medieval literature, social history, and economic ethics.
