The Uses of Script and Print, 1300-1700Julia C. Crick, Alexandra Walsham This volume investigates written communication in the two centuries before and the two centuries after the introduction of printing. Focusing on England, it explores the boundaries between script and print and considers the relationship of these media with the culture of speech. The contributors consider the uses of script and print by a variety of individuals, groups and communities in the spheres of religion, law, scholarship and politics. They also reassess long-standing assumptions about the impact of printing and the historical fissures it had come to represent. |
