Description

Explore the development of literacy in a changing urban landscape with Middle-Class Writing in Late Medieval London. Part of The History of the Book series, this academic study by Richardson provides a fresh look at how a culture of writing emerged in London during the late medieval period. While many historical studies focus on the reading habits of the middle class, this work takes a different approach. It examines writing skills as a distinct discipline, separate from reading skills and the study of literature. This distinction allows for a deeper understanding of how people navigated the written word even when they could not write themselves. This book is an essential resource for those interested in historical biography and the evolution of literacy. It offers a detailed examination of the social forces that shaped writing practices in one of the world's most important historical cities. Whether you are a student of history or a researcher of book culture, this Routledge publication provides a unique perspective on the social history of communication.
