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 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.
