Description

This scholarly examination by Richardson investigates how a vibrant writing culture flourished in late medieval London despite limited literacy among the general population. Unlike previous research that conflates reading with writing abilities, this work provides a focused analysis of writing skills as a distinct practice within middle-class society. The book separates writing from both reading patterns and literary traditions, offering fresh insights into how written communication developed and became embedded in urban life during the 1001-1500 period. Published by Routledge as part of The History of the Book series, it addresses a crucial gap in medieval studies by treating writing as its own cultural phenomenon worthy of dedicated historical examination.

Key Features

The book examines middle-class writing culture in late medieval London as an independent field of study separate from reading and literature.

Richardson's research reveals how a powerful writing culture emerged in London despite most inhabitants lacking personal writing skills.

This Routledge publication treats writing practices as a distinct historical subject rather than merely an extension of literary or reading studies.

The work spans the 1001-1500 historical period and contributes to The History of the Book scholarly series.

The study provides new perspectives on urban literacy development and the social adoption of written communication in medieval society.
