Objects of affection recovers the emotional attraction of the
medieval book through an engagement with a fifteenth-century
literary collection known as Oxford, Bodleian Library Manuscript
Ashmole 61. Exploring how the inhabitants of the book's pages -
human and nonhuman, tangible and intangible - collaborate with its
readers then and now, this book addresses the manuscript's material
appeal in the ways it binds itself to different cultural,
historical and material environments. In doing so it traces the
affective literacy training that the manuscript provided its
late-medieval English household, whose diverse inhabitants are
incorporated into the ecology of the book itself as it fashions
spiritually generous and socially mindful household members. -- .
