Ethics and exemplary narrative in Chaucer and Gower es un ethics, ethics, medieval, in literature book de J. Allan Mitchell.
Sobre este libro
"Borrowing from recent developments in ethical criticism and theory, this book reconstructs a late medieval rationale for the ethics of exemplary narrative. The author argues that Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Gower's Confessio Amantis attest to the vitality of a narrative - rather than strictly normative - ethics that has roots in premodern traditions of practical reason and rhetoric. Chaucer and Gower are shown to be inheritors and respecters of an early and unexpected form of ethical pragmatism - which has profound implications for the orthodox history of ethics in the West."--BOOK JACKET.
