A. S. G. Edwards is Honorary Professor of Medieval Manuscripts at the University of Kent at Canterbury. James G. Clark is Professor of History at the University of Exeter. He has published widely on the later Middle Ages and early modern period, most recently The Dissolution of the Monasteries (Yale, 2021) JULIA BOFFEY is Professor of Medieval Studies in the Department of English at Queen Mary University of London.

Each chapter is richly referenced and densely informative and I can quite see that this volume will become (if it is not already) the go-to compendium for students of early printed books, of book history more generally, and of reading and reception studies and histories in medieval and early modern Britain and beyond.
