Orietta Da Rold provides a detailed analysis of the coming of paper
to medieval England, and its influence on the literary and
non-literary culture of the period. Looking beyond book production,
Da Rold maps out the uses of paper and explains the success of this
technology in medieval culture, considering how people interacted
with it and how it affected their lives. Offering a nuanced
understanding of how affordance influenced societal choices, Paper
in Medieval England draws on a multilingual array of sources to
investigate how paper circulated, was written upon, and was
deployed by people across medieval society, from kings to
merchants, to bishops, to clerks and to poets, contributing to an
understanding of how medieval paper changed communication and
shaped modernity.
