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 how market-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 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.
