This volume builds upon the widening interest in the connections
between culture and communication in medieval and early modern
Europe. Focusing on England, it takes a critical look at the
scholarly paradigm of the shift from script to print, exploring the
possibilities and limitations of these media as vehicles of
information and meaning. The essays examine how pen and the press
were used in the spheres of religion, law, scholarship, and
politics. They assess scribal activity both before and after the
advent of printing, illuminating its role in recording and
transmitting polemical, literary, antiquarian and utilitarian
texts. They also investigate script and print in relation to the
spoken word, emphasising the constant interaction and symbiosis of
these three media. In sum, this collection helped to refine the
boundaries between cultures of speech, manuscript and print, and to
reconsider the historical fissures which they have come to
represent.
