This collaborative collection considers the packaging, presentation
and consumption of medieval manuscripts and early printed books in
Europe 1350-1550. It showcases innovative research on the history
of the book from a range of established and younger scholars from
the US and Europe in the fields of English and French Studies,
History, Music, and Art History. The collection falls naturally
into three sections: * Packaging and Presentation: The physical
context of the manuscript and printed book including its binding,
visual presentation and internal organization * Consumers:
Producers, Owners, and Readers * Consuming the Text: The experience
of the audience(s) for books These three strands are
interdependent, and highlight the materiality of the manuscript or
printed book as a consumable, focusing on its 'consumability' in
the sense of its packaging and presentation, its consumers, and on
the act of consumption in the sense of reading and reception or
literal decay.
