- W2319257912 abstract "Julia Boffeybeginsherinterestinganddetailedbook with questions: ‘what perceptions did people have of printed material after its introduction into England, and how did these perceptions determine their own practices in dealing with books and documents, whether as producers or consumers?’ She concentrates on the five decades after the introduction of printing and focuses on London, by far the most populous city in England, and where, if one takes in Westminster, most of the material was produced and used. In the opening chapter she illustrates the complexity of the textual situation by contrasting two books, produced at roughly the same time. The Customs of London (c. 1502) comprises a short London chronicle for 1189 to 1501/2 and miscellaneous other documents—charters and ordinances relating to London, model letters useful to its citizens, material on the calendar and travel, and literary texts, including the poem ‘The Nut Brown Maid’. It was put together by Richard Arnold, ‘citizen and haburdasher of London’, and incorporated materials he must have had to hand for the use of his fellow citizens. But, paradoxically, this ‘local’ book was printed in Antwerp, probably by Ardriaen van Berghen. The second is Huntingdon MS HM 140, a composite manuscript, a mixture of parchment and paper, made up of two late fifteenth-century anthologies, each copied by more than one scribe: one part has poems by Chaucer and Lydgate, the other has a copy of the Libelle of English Policy, prose treatises and saints' lives. Not all the items in this book need have been written in London, but it is a ‘London book’ because it was read and annotated by Londoners—amongst others by William Marshall ‘armourer’, and ‘Rychard Jonsan setezan & haburdashar of London’. The complexity illustrated by this contrast—involving materials, means of production, provenance of the texts, authors and readers—is further demonstrated as the chapter develops. Julia Boffey identifies ‘some London texts and authors’, but makes the equally valid point that ‘Much of what came the way of readers in London was … certainly not London-produced, nor in its content London-connected’." @default.
