Description: Introducing English Medieval Book HistoryManuscripts, their Producers and their Readers Author(s): Ralph Hanna Format: Hardback Publisher: Liverpool University Press, United Kingdom Imprint: University of Exeter Press ISBN-13: 9780859898713, 978-0859898713 Synopsis This book offers an introduction to medieval English book-history through a sequence of exemplary analyses of commonplace book-historical problems. Rather than focus on bibliographical particulars, the volume considers a variety of ways in which scholars use manuscripts to discuss book culture, and it provides a wide-ranging introductory bibliography to aid in the study. All the essays try to suggest how the study of surviving medieval books might be useful in considering medieval literary culture more generally. Subjects covered include authorship, genre, discontinuous production, scribal individuality and community, the history of libraries and the history of book provenance.
