Matters of Household Proffit’
The household book is a particular feature of the landscape of manuscript production post‐1475, and is particularly associated with women. Compiling manuscript household books in a post‐print landscape involved a specific kind of dialogue between the two material forms. It is useful to reframe the practice of retranslating printed material (often based on works in manuscript or older works) into manuscript form as a kind of cultural exchange and,…
Introduction
In this introduction, the editors lay out the rationale behind this special issue. The goal of this issue is to identify and disrupt the complacency surrounding the medieval and early modern canon with a view to achieving two things. Firstly, we hope to uncover new approaches to the study of premodern literature that might result in a more accurate and inclusive account of what texts were of greatest significance to readers and writers in medieva…

It takes as case-studies one later-medieval m…

I argue that they suggest a little-theorized engagement with the medieval manuscript. Such recipes are not simply and straightforwardly instructional: in fact, they offer us fascinating glimpses into late-medieval perspectives on that relationship between the written word and the decorative aspects of words on a page, a nexus that se…

Excalibur and medievalism in Anthony Burgess’ Any Old Iron

It looks at the dynamic nature of that literature and at what it can reveal about cultural and social practices as well as ways of reading and engaging with texts and textual genres. It also examines the interface between texts in manuscript and in print, and considers some of the…
