Description: Immaterial Texts in Late Medieval England by Daniel Wakelin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This volume elucidates the craft practices, cultural conventions and literary attitudes of scribes of late medieval English manuscripts to students and researchers. Introducing misunderstood and overlooked aspects of these manuscripts, it convincingly challenges current understandings of late medieval literary and material culture. Publisher Description Daniel Wakelin introduces and reinterprets the misunderstood and overlooked craft practices, cultural conventions and literary attitudes involved in making some of the most important manuscripts in late medieval English literature. In doing so he overturns how we view the role of scribes, showing how they ignored or concealed irregular and damaged parchment; ruled pages from habit and convention more than necessity; decorated the division of the text into pages or worried that it would harm reading; abandoned annotations to poetry, focusing on the poem itself; and copied English poems meticulously, in reverence for an abstract idea of the text. Scribes interest in immaterial ideas and texts suggests their subtle thinking as craftspeople, in ways that contrast and extend current interpretations of late medieval literary culture, material texts and the power of materials. For students, researchers and librarians, this book offers revelatory perspectives on the activities of late medieval scribes.

He is the author and editor of books including Scribal Correction and Literary Craft (Cambridge University Press, 2014), and Designing English (2017).
