Traditionally celebrated for his book commissions that promoted the vernacular, Charles V also deserves credit for having profoundly altered the literary economy when bypassing the traditional system of acquiring books through gifting to favor the commission. When upturning literary dynamics by soliciting works to satisfy his stated desires, the king triggered a multi-generational literary debate concerned with the effect a work's status as a solicited or unsolicited text had in determining the value and purpose of the literary enterprise. Treating first the king's commissioned writers and then canonical French late medieval authors, Deborah L. McGrady argues that continued discussion of these competing literary economies engendered the concept of the "writer's gift," which vernacular writers used to claim a distinctive role in society based on their triple gift of knowledge, wisdom, and literary talent."--$cProvided by publisher 606 $aAuthors and patrons$zFrance$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aArt commissions$zFrance$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aFrance$2fast 607 $aFrance$xIntellectual life$yTo 1500 608 $aHistory. 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aauthorship. 610 $aclientelism. 610 $agift economy. 610 $apatronage. 610 $apoet-patron relations. 615 0$aAuthors and patrons$xHistory 615 0$aArt commissions$xHistory 676 $a840.9/001 700 $aMcGrady$b Deborah L.$f1967-,$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01630138 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823849503321 996 $aThe Writer's Gift or the Patron's Pleasure$93968264 997 $aUNINA
