Abstract

The article analyzes the 14th century English poem "Wynnere and Wastoure." Particular attention is given to the debate between two knights over the worth of producing and consuming wealth to society within the poem, with the author suggesting that the poem features the most clever rhetoric from its period. Topics such as moral argument, Christianity, and monarchical duty are also discussed based on the poem's debate.
