Description

Explore the connection between economic shifts and literature in Chaucer's Poetic Alchemy by Routledge. Originally published in 1988, this scholarly work examines how the growth of commerce in fourteenth-century England influenced social structures and a preoccupation with material wealth. This study analyzes Chaucer's treatment of economic and ethical value within The Canterbury Tales. It places his writing in the context of contemporary social changes and examines how he relates to the scholastic economic theories used to set ethical standards for commercial conduct. By looking at how value is determined and transformed, this book provides a deep look at the motivating forces within Chaucer's famous narratives.
