These essays explore ways that late medieval economic thought informs contemporary English texts and apply modern modes of economic analysis to medieval literature. In so doing, they read the importance and influence of historical records of practices as aids to contextualizing these texts. They also apply recent modes of economic history as a means to understand the questions the texts ask about economics, trade, and money. Collectively, these papers argue that both medieval and modern economic thought are key to valuable historical contextualization of medieval literary texts, but that this criticism can be advanced only if we also recognize the specificity of the economic and social conditions of late-medieval England. 410 0$aThe New Middle Ages,$x2945-5944 606 $aLiterature, Medieval 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aMedieval Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aEconomic History 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 14$aMedieval Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aEconomic History. 676 $a820.935530902 702 $aBertolet$b Craig E.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aEpstein$b Robert$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300017803321 996 $aMoney, Commerce, and Economics in Late Medieval English Literature$92150055 997 $aUNINA
