Chaucerian Polity: Absolutist Lineages and Associational Forms in England and Italy
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Stanford University Press

Description:
Chaucer's encounters with the great Trecento authors -- Dante, Boccaccio, and Petrarch -- facilitate the testing and dismantling of time-honored terms such as "medieval, " "Renaissance, " and "humanism." The author argues that no magic curtain separated "medieval" London and Westminster from "Renaissance" Florence and Milan; all sites were interlinked as parts of a transnational nexus of capital, cultural, mercantile, and military exchange.
