Descrizione
It is not surprising that the development
of the internet and related electronic technologies has coincided with
an academic interest in the history of reading. Using and transmitting texts in new
ways, scholars have become increasingly aware of the precise ways in
which manuscripts and printed books transmitted texts to early modern
readers. This volume collects nine essays on reading and literacy in
Europe from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Topics
include: the function of marginalia in vernacular medieval
manuscripts; the trope of reading in the fourteenth century;
the definition of
literacy in early modern England; marginalia and reading practices in early
modern Italy; revision of medieval texts in the Renaissance;
the prevalence of
translated French poetry in sixteenth-century England;
the use of poems as
props in the plays of Shakespeare; the private reading of the playscripts of
masques; and early-modern womens reading practices.
These essays
demonstrate the energy and excitement of the rapidly developing field
of the history of reading.
They will appeal to those interested in European cultural history, the
transition from manuscript to print culture, the history of literacy,
and the history of the book.
