Manuscript and Print in Late Medieval and Early Modern Britain

<p>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 poetry and prose both secular and religious - and examine an assortment of different reading contexts: lay devotional local regional and national. TAMARA ATKIN is Senior Lecturer in Late Medieval and Early Renaissance Literature and JACLYN RAJSIC is Lecturer in Medieval Literature at the School of English and Drama Queen Mary University of London.
