In recent years, literary scholars have come increasingly to
acknowledge that an adequate understanding of texts requires the
study of books, the material objects through which the meanings of
texts are constructed. Focusing on French poetry in the period
1400-1600, contributors to this volume analyze layout,
illustration, graphology, paratext, typography, anthologization,
and other such elements in works by a variety of writers, among
them Charles d'Orleans, Jean Bouchet, Pierre de Ronsard and Louise
Labe. They demonstrate how those elements play a crucial role in
shaping the relationships between authors, texts, contexts, and
readers, and how these relationships change as the nature of the
book evolves. An introduction to the volume outlines the
methodological implications of studying the materiality of
literature in this period; situates the various papers in relation
to each other and to the field as a whole; and indicates possible
future directions of research in the field. By engaging with issues
of major current methodological concern, this volume appeals to all
scholars interested in the materiality of the literary text,
including the burgeoning field of text-image studies, not only in
French but also in other national literatures. In addition, it
enables fruitful connections to be made between late-medieval and
Renaissance literature, areas still often studied in isolation from
each other.
