The Resource Artisans and narrative craft in late-medieval England, Lisa H. Cooper

Artisans and narrative craft in late-medieval England, Lisa H. Cooper

Creator
Summary
  • "Lisa H. Cooper offers new insight into the relationship of material practice and literary production in the Middle Ages by exploring the representation of craft labor in England from c.1000-1483. She examines genres as diverse as the school-text, comic poem, spiritual allegory, and mirror for princes, and works by authors both well-known (Chaucer, Lydgate, Caxton) and far less so. Whether they represent craft as profitable endeavor, learned skill, or degrading toil, the texts she reviews not only depict artisans as increasingly legitimate members of the body politic, but also deploy images of craft labor and its products to confront other complex issues, including the nature of authorship, the purpose of community, the structure of the household, the fate of the soul, and the scope of princely power"--
  • "This series of critical books seeks to cover the whole area of literature written in the major medieval languages -- the main European vernaculars, and medieval Latin and Greek -- during the period c. 1100--1500. Its chief aim is to publish and stimulate fresh scholarship and criticism on medieval literature, special emphasis being placed on understanding major works of poetry, prose, and drama in relation to the contemporary culture and learning which fostered them. Recent titles in the series Nicole R. Rice Lay Piety and Religious Discipline in Middle English Literature"--
