 The Clerical Proletariat and the Resurgence of Medieval English Poetry【電子書籍】[ Kathryn Kerby-Fulton ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Despite the great literary achievements of Chaucer, Langland, and the ＜em＞Pearl＜/em＞ Poet, Ricardian English books were still a niche market in 1400. As Kathryn Kerby-Fulton shows, however, their generation was transformational in nurturing the resurgence of English writing, in part as a result of the mass underemployment of clerks originally trained for the church but unable to find steady positions in it. Surviving instead as ecclesiastical or choral "piece workers," or in secular jobs in government or private households, this "clerical proletariat" lived and worked in liminal spaces between the ecclesiastical and lay world. And there the most enterprising found new materialーand new audiencesーfor poetry in English.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since English book production in London prior to 1380 was rare, Kerby-Fulton's study begins in the prior century with great regional poets, revealing their early experimentation with a new poetics of vocational crisis. Preoccupied with underemployment, patronage, careerist ambition, alienation, and changing literary fashion, these thirteenth-century writers were choosing the more ＜em＞avant garde＜/em＞ option of writing in English while feeling backwards to earlier tradition in works such as ＜em＞La?amon's Brut＜/em＞ and ＜em＞The Owl and the Nightingale＜/em＞. These early experimenters invoked semi-remembered literary forms in a still evolving written vernacular, breaking ground for Ricardian writers, who turned to these conventions during the massive clerical unemployment of the Great Schism era. Kerby-Fulton's is the first study of Langland's legacy of articulating an authorial employment crisis, and its echoes in Hoccleve and Audelay. It also uses new tools for uncovering proletarian writers in unattributed Middle English works, including the famous Harley 2253 lyrics, the "York Realist's" ＜em＞Second Trial＜/em＞ from the York Cycle, ＜em＞St. Erkenwald＜/em＞, and ＜em＞Wynnere and Wastour＜/em＞. Taking in proletarian themes, including class, meritocracy, the abuse of children ("Choristers' Lament"), the gig economy, precarity, and the breaking of intellectual elites (＜em＞Book of Margery Kempe＜/em＞), ＜em＞The Clerical Proletariat and the Resurgence of Medieval English Poetry＜/em＞ speaks to both past and present employment urgencies.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 9,130円 |

 The History of Currency, 1252 to 1896 Unraveling the Evolution of Currency: From Medieval Times to the Late 19th Century【電子書籍】[ William Arthur Shaw ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "The History of Currency, 1252 to 1896," William Arthur Shaw meticulously examines the evolution of monetary systems across centuries, offering a comprehensive analysis of currency's role in shaping economic landscapes. Shaw employs a scholarly yet accessible literary style, weaving together historical documents, quantitative data, and anecdotal narratives that shed light on how currency impacted trade, governance, and social change. This work not only reflects the author's deep engagement with economic history but also situates itself within the broader context of pre-modern and modern economic theory, challenging readers to reconsider the significance of currency in societal development. Shaw, a distinguished economist and historian, brings a wealth of intellectual rigor to this study, likely influenced by his experiences observing the rapid industrialization of his time, which transformed traditional notions of currency.

Through meticulous research, Shaw's insights into various currencies, from commodities to paper notes, reveal an understanding of how these transactions shape human interaction and societal structures. I highly recommend "The History of Currency, 1252 to 1896" for anyone interested in economic history, policy-making, and the evolving nature of financial systems. Shaw's clear prose and analytical depth make this book an essential read for historians, economists, and casual readers alike, providing valuable lessons on the long-term implications of currency practices in contemporary society.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 310円 |

 A Cultural History of Money in the Medieval Age【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Money provides a unique and illuminating perspective on the Middle Ages. In much of medieval Europe the central meaning of money was a prescribed unit of precious metal but in practice precious metal did not necessarily change hands and indeed coinage was very often in short supply.

 To Live Like a Moor Christian Perceptions of Muslim Identity in Medieval and Early Modern Spain【電子書籍】[ Olivia Remie Constable ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞What do clothing, bathing, or dining habits reveal about one's personal religious beliefs? Nothing, of course, unless such outward bodily concerns are ＜em＞perceived＜/em＞ to hold some sort of spiritual significance. Such was the case in the multireligious world of medieval Spain, where the ways in which one dressed, washed, and fed the body were seen as potential indicators of religious affiliation. True faith might be a matter of the soul, but faith ＜em＞identity＜/em＞ could also literally be worn on the sleeve or reinforced through performance of the most intimate functions of daily life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The significance of these practices changed over time in the eyes of Christian warriors, priests, and common citizens who came to dominate all corners of the Iberian peninsula by the end of the fifteenth century. Certain "Moorish" fashions occasionally crossed over religious lines, while visits to a local bathhouse and indulgence in a wide range of exotic foods were frequently enjoyed by Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike. Yet at the end of the Middle Ages, attitudes hardened. With the fall of Granada, and the eventual forced baptism of all Spain's remaining Muslims, any perceived retention of traditional "Moorish" lifestyles might take on a sinister overtone of disloyalty and resistance. Distinctive clothing choices, hygienic practices, and culinary tastes could now lead to charges of secret allegiance to Islam. Repressive legislation, inquisitions, and ultimately mass deportations followed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞To Live Like a Moor＜/em＞ traces the many shifts in Christian perceptions of Islam-associated ways of life which took place across the centuries between early ＜em＞Reconquista＜/em＞ efforts of the eleventh century and the final expulsions of Spain's converted yet poorly assimilated ＜em＞Morisco＜/em＞ population in the seventeenth. Using a wealth of social, legal, literary, and religious documentation in this, her last book, Olivia Remie Constable revealed the complexities and contradictions underlying a historically notorious transition from pluralism to intolerance.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 6,085円 |
