The Gender of Money in Middle English Literature: Value and Economy
in Late Medieval England explores the vital and under-examined role
that gender plays in the conceptualization of money and value in a
period that precedes and shapes what we now recognize as the
discipline of political economy. Through readings of a range of
late Middle English texts, this book demonstrates the ways in which
gender ideology provided a vocabulary for articulating fears and
fantasies about money and value in the late Middle Ages. These
ideas inform beliefs about money and value in the West,
particularly in realms that are often seen as outside the sphere of
economy, such as friendship, love and poetry. Exploring the gender
of money helps us to better understand late medieval notions of
economy, and to recognize the ways in which gender ideology
continues to haunt our understanding of money and value, albeit
often in occluded ways.
