Pressezitat
“Alexander N. Gabrovsky’s book is an important study into the role of alchemy and transmutation in the works of Geoffrey Chaucer and fourteenth-century scientific thought. … Gabrovsky provides important insights about the relationship between medieval alchemy and physics and how it affects the reading of medieval literature. … the book is especially useful for considering the role of alchemy and science in Chaucer’s works and its impact upon character development and the imagination.” (Curtis Runstedler, Ambix, Vol. 65 (04), September, 2018)Kommentar zu "Chaucer the Alchemist / The New Middle Ages"
