This volume argues, through a series of selected local studies, for
the importance of "textual criticism" as a fundamental act of
historical interpretation and recovery, pointing out the need for
attention to the physical bearers of our knowledge of the English
Middle Ages, the books themselves, and the ignored and alienating
features of manuscript culture. It examines medieval book
production, the textual uses of manuscripts, the nature of medieval
meditations, and looks in detail at work by Chaucer and Langland.
In conclusion the volume considers the problem of textual
annotation in the light of both history and literary theory.
