{"product_id":"poverty-in-late-middle-english-dinah-hazell-9781846821554","title":"Poverty in Late Middle English Literature: The Meene and the Riche","description":"Studies of medieval poverty tend to focus on a few works, particularly Piers Plowman and related texts, and on the indigent and rural poor. This book presents a comprehensive view of poverty at different social levels, from aristocrat to pauper, and the way in which poverty is employed as a topos to reflect social and moral concerns. The literary works, primarily from the fourteenth century and set within a cultural\/historical context, represent a broad range of authors and genres, including romance, chronicle, satire, complaint, homily, hagiography, treatise, and drama, and include both well- and lesser-known pieces. There is a strong focus on the historical and literary solutions to poverty, as well as factors that influenced the complex and often conflicting attitudes towards the poor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dinah Hazell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184682155X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846821554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Four Courts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 274","brand":"Dinah Hazell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623318466815,"sku":"9781846821554","price":74.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poverty-in-late-middle-english-dinah-hazell-9781846821554","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
