Essays offering a gendered approach to the study of the move from
manuscript to early printed book show how much women were involved
in the process. The transition from medieval manuscript to early
printed book is currently a major topic of academic interest, but
has received very little attention in terms of women's involvement,
a gap which the essays in this volume address.They add female names
to the list of authors who participated in the creation of English
literature, and examine women's responses to authoritative and
traditional texts in revealing detail. Taking its cue from the
advances made by recent work on manuscript culture and book
history, this volume also includes studies of material evidence,
looking at women's participation in the making of books, and the
traces they left when they encountered actual volumes.Finally,
studies of women's roles in relation to apparently ephemeral texts,
such as letters, pamphlets and almanacs, challenge traditional
divisions between public and private spheres as well as between
manuscript and print. Dr Anne Lawrence-Mathers is Lecturer in
History, University of Reading; Phillipa Hardman is Senior Lecturer
in English, University of Reading. Contributors: Gemma Allen, Anna
Bayman, James Daybell, Alice Eardley, Christopher Hardman, Phillipa
Hardman, Elizabeth Heale, Anne Lawrence-Mathers, Adam Smyth, Alison
Wiggins, Graham Williams
