Answer:

Long-distance trade played a major role in the cultural, religious, and artistic exchanges that took place between the major centers of civilization in Europe and Asia during antiquity. Some of these trade routes had been in use for centuries, but by the beginning of the first century A.D., merchants, diplomats, and travelers could (in theory) cross the ancient world from Britain and Spain in the west to China and Japan in the east. The trade routes served principally to transfer raw materials, foodstuffs, and luxury goods from areas with surpluses to others where they were in short supply. Some areas had a monopoly on certain materials or goods. China, for example, supplied West Asia and the Mediterranean world with silk, while spices were obtained principally from South Asia. These goods were transported over vast distances— either by pack animals overland

Chaucer's Prologue describes various people in connection with their profession. Analyze the Skipper's description. Explain two

Over [174]

Answer:

The Skipper also called the shipman, is described by Chaucer as a good man with a good leadership and love for his work, in the following extract it is possible to appreciate the way in which the author takes into account several details about the way of wearing clouds and the possible story affairs behind the current appearance

Explanation:

''He rode upon a rouncy (hack), as he couth, All in a gown of falding (coarse cloth) to the knee. A dagger hanging by a lace had he About his neck under his arm adown; The hot summer had made his hue all brown; And certainly he was a good fellaw.''

It is also possible to infer that the skipper is also described as a strong man, once the author emphasizes in the fact that he has a hanging dagger; this fact in some way let the reader know that the Skipper is someone who will be disposed to fight if it is necessary.

''Of nice conscience took he no keep. If that he fought and had the higher hand, By water he sent them home to every land (he drowned his prisoners).''

Besides, it is also noticeable taking into account this information, that the shipman is not a fancy character since he hangs his dagger with a simple lace; reason why he has the respect of the rest of pilgrims with whom he shares this adventure, he is just described by the author as a man able to defend his position as he loves to do his work as it is possible to appreciate between lines:

''There was none such, from Hull unto Carthage, Hardy he was, and wise, I undertake: With many a tempest had his beard been shake. He knew well all the havens, as they were, From Scotland to the Cape of Finisterre.''
