Between roughly 1350 and 1500, the English vernacular became
established as a language of literary, bureaucratic, devotional and
controversial writing; metropolitan artisans formed guilds for the
production and sale of books for the first time; and Gutenberg's
and eventually Caxton's printed books reached their first English
consumers. This book gathers the best new work on manuscript books
in England made during this crucial but neglected period. Its
authors survey existing research, gather intensive new evidence and
develop new approaches to key topics. The chapters cover the
material conditions and economy of the book trade; amateur
production both lay and religious; the effects of censorship; and
the impact on English book production of manuscripts and artisans
from elsewhere in the British Isles and Europe. A wide-ranging and
innovative series of essays, this volume is a major contribution to
the history of the book in medieval England.
