Middle-Class Writing in Late Medieval London (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Richardson explores how a powerful culture of writing was created in late medieval London, even though initially few inhabitants could actually write themselves. Whilst previous studies have tended to focus on middle-class literary reading patterns, this study examines writing skills separately both from reading skills and from literature.
