Lisa H. Cooper offers new insight into the relationship of material
practice and literary production in the Middle Ages by exploring
the representation of craft labor in England from c.1000-1483. She
examines genres as diverse as the school-text, comic poem,
spiritual allegory, and mirror for princes, and works by authors
both well known (Chaucer, Lydgate, Caxton) and far less so. Whether
they represent craft as profitable endeavor, learned skill, or
degrading toil, the texts she reviews not only depict artisans as
increasingly legitimate members of the body politic, but also
deploy images of craft labor and its products to confront other
complex issues, including the nature of authorship, the purpose of
community, the structure of the household, the fate of the soul,
and the scope of princely power.
