Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is about an extended debate between the personifications of Liberalitie and Prodigalitie, which took place before Queen Elizabeth I in 1600. Rich in color and language, the author stages a debate between Virtue and Fortune, with both sides presenting compelling arguments. Following an encounter with Vanity, the author presents a sequence of related scenes involving a miser, a suitor, and a number of other characters, all of whom experience the capricious nature of fortune. Set against the backdrop of Elizabethan society, this book contributes to our understanding of attitudes towards wealth, spending, consumption, and virtue during this period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
