What has fifteenth-century England to do with the Renaissance? By
challenging accepted notions of 'medieval' and 'early modern' David
Rundle proposes a new understanding of English engagement with the
Renaissance. He does so by focussing on one central element of the
humanist agenda - the reform of the script and of the book more
generally - to demonstrate a tradition of engagement from the 1430s
into the early sixteenth century. Introducing a cast-list of
scribes and collectors who are not only English and Italian but
also Scottish, Dutch and German, this study sheds light on the
cosmopolitanism central to the success of the humanist agenda.
Questioning accepted narratives of the slow spread of the
Renaissance from Italy to other parts of Europe, Rundle suggests
new possibilities for the fields of manuscript studies and the
study of Renaissance humanism.
