TAILIEUCHUNG - Medieval Market Morality

This important new study examines the market trade of medieval England from a new perspective, by providing a wide-ranging critique of the moral and legal imperatives that underpinned retail trade. James Davis shows howmarket-goers were influenced not only by practical and economic considerations of price, quality, supply and demand, but also by the moral and cultural environment within which such deals were conducted. This book draws on a broad range of cross-disciplinary evidence, from the literary works of William Langland and the ser- mons of medieval preachers, to state, civic and guild laws. Davis scru- tinises everyday market behaviour through case studies of small and large towns, using the evidence. | Medieval Market Morality Life Law and Ethics in the English Marketplace 1200-1500 JAMES DAVIS more information - 9781107003439 Medieval Market Morality Life Law and Ethics in the English Marketplace 1200-1500 This important new study examines the market trade of medieval England from a new perspective by providing a wide-ranging critique of the moral and legal imperatives that underpinned retail trade.

This book draws on a broad range of cross-disciplinary evidence from the literary works of William Langland and the sermons of medieval preachers to state civic and guild laws. Davis scrutinises everyday market behaviour through case studies of small and large towns using the evidence of manor and borough courts. From these varied sources Davis teases out the complex relationship between morality law and practice and demonstrates that even the influence of contemporary Christian ideology was not necessarily incompatible with efficient and profitable everyday commerce.
