  • Chaucer and the Ethics of Time

    de Gillian Adler ...
    Series series New Century Chaucer
    Geoffrey Chaucer wrote at a turning point in the history of timekeeping, but many of his poems demonstrate a greater interest in the moral dimension of time than in the mechanics of the medieval clock. Chaucer and the Ethics of Time examines Chaucer’s sensitivity to the insecurity of human experience amid the temporal circumstances of change and time-passage, as well as strategies for ethicising ...

    Time and Medieval Life

    de Gillian Adler, Paul Strohm ...
    Series Libro 4 - Medieval Lives

  • The Logic of Love in the Canterbury Tales

    de Manish Sharma ...
    The Logic of Love in The Canterbury Tales argues that Geoffrey Chaucer’s magnum opus draws inventively on the resources of late medieval logic to conceive of love as an "insoluble." Philosophers of the fourteenth century expended great effort to solve insolubilia, like the notorious Liar paradox, in order to decide upon their truth or falsity. For Chaucer, however, and in keeping with Christ’s ... Leer más

    Ekphrasis in Medieval Literature and Culture

    de Ethan Knapp ...
    Series series Interventions: New Studies in Medieval Culture
