Description

Book Synopsis
Examining the formal characteristics of both physical manuscripts and literary works, this book argues that manuscript compilations from fourteenth-century London reward interpretation as both assemblages and fragments: as meaningfully constructed objects whose forms and textual contents shed light on the city's literary, social, and more.

Trade Review
"Bahr's attractively written, often witty book, informed by a wide range of scholarship, elegantly demonstrates one way of using material form in the service of critical analysis." (Times Literary Supplement)
