About the Book

Bringing together a broad range of case studies written by a team of international scholars, this Concise Companion establishes how manuscripts and printed books met the needs of two different approaches to literacy in the early modern period.

  • Features essays illustrating the particular ways a manuscript and a printed book reflect the different emphases of an elite, private and an egalitarian, public culture, both of which account for the literary achievements of the Renaissance
  • Includes wide-ranging essays, from printing the Gospels in Arabic to a contemporary reconceptualization of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus
  • Increases accessibility through a rubric organized around archival and manuscript studies; the provenance of texts and the authority of editions; and studies of genre, religion and literary history
  • Announces the recovery of archival documents, which in some instances are over four hundred years old
  • Places translations of Milton's Latin, Greek, and Italian alongside the original texts to increase accessibility for a wide audience of students and scholars
  • Provides an invaluable platform for highlighting on-going attention to the history of the book and its corollary subjects of reading and writing practices in the 1500s and 1600s

About the Author:

Edward Jones is a Regents Professor of English at Oklahoma State University and the Editor of Milton Quarterly. His research interests centre on seventeenth-century archival records created by the English state, church, and parish and how such documents inform the life and writings of John Milton. Book-length publications include Milton's Sonnets: An Annotated Bibliography, 1900-1992 and, Young Milton: The Emerging Author, 1620-1642. A selection of his essays can be found in RES, JEGP, A Concise Companion to Milton, The Oxford Handbook of Milton, and Milton in Context.
