Alchemy and Exemplary Narrative in Middle English Poetry - Paul Ferguson - 06-29-2023

Thesis by CT Runstedler, Durham Univ.

"This thesis examines the role of alchemy in Middle English poetry from fourteenth- and
fifteenth-century England, particularly how these poems present themselves as exemplary
narratives to raise moral points about human behaviour, fallibility, and alchemical
experimentation."
