Chaucer the Alchemist: Physics, Mutability, and the Medieval Imagination: The New Middle Ages

Autor Alexander N. Gabrovsky
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 sep 2015
The secrets of nature's alchemy captivated both the scientific and literary imagination of the Middle Ages. This book explores Chaucer's fascination with earth's mutability. Gabrovsky reveals that his poetry represents a major contribution to a medieval worldview centered on the philosophy of physics, astronomy, alchemy, and logic.

Recenzii

“This is a highly valuable and essential study for scholars interested in the depth and breadth of Chaucer’s sophisticated use of medieval science and philosophy, which takes our understanding of the philosophical poet to new heights.” (Shazia Jagot, Speculum, Vol. 95 (1), January, 2020)
“Alexander N. Gabrovsky’s book is an important study into the role of alchemy and transmutation in the works of Geoffrey Chaucer and fourteenth-century scientific thought. … Gabrovsky provides important insights about the relationship between medieval alchemy and physics and how it affects the reading of medieval literature. … the book is especially useful for considering the role of alchemy and science in Chaucer’s works and its impact upon character development and the imagination.” (Curtis Runstedler, Ambix, Vol. 65 (04), September, 2018)
