Essays on book history, manuscripts and reading during a period of
considerable change. The production, transmission, and reception of
texts from England and beyond during the late medieval and early
renaissance periods are the focus of this volume. Chapters consider
the archives and the material contexts in which texts were
produced, read, and re-read; the history of specific manuscripts
and early printed books; and some of the continuities and changes
in literary and book production, dissemination, and reception in
the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Responding to Professor
Julia Boffey's pioneering work on medieval and early Tudor material
and literary culture, they cover a range of genres - from practical
texts written in Latin to works of Middle English poetryand prose,
both secular and religious - and examine an assortment of different
reading contexts: lay, devotional, local, regional, and national.
