The sixteenth volume in the English manuscript studies series.
Developing a subject that has in recent years attracted increasing attention by literary scholars, the contributors to this volume explore diverse aspects of manuscript verse and prose miscellanies - their nature, raison d’être, and uses, their compilers (both men and women), their compilation procedures, and the political, social and cultural networks in which they were produced.
Contributors Alexandra Gillespie, Julia Boffey, Matthew Zarnowiecki, Steven W May, Marcy L North, Arthur F Marotti, Sebastiaan Verweij, Fred Schurink, and Angus Vine.
