Description and Table of Contents
Description
Van Cleve's pioneering study of wealth in late medieval Germany - on the one hand "filthy lucre," on the other the foundation of an evolving urban, middle-class culture - is anchored in major literary works of the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, with particular emphasis on Brant's Ship of Fools, Luther's On Trade and Usury, Hans Sachs's Romanus Dialogue, and the chapbooks Reynard the Fox, Till Eulenspiegel, Fortunatus, and Dr. Faustus.
