| Summary: | A survey of medieval literacy going beyond the shift "from memory to written record," paying attention to the role of women in teaching reading. Michael Clanchy's 'From Memory to Written Record,' first published in 1979, has shaped the study of medieval literacy. Apart from continuing to work on "pragmatic literacy," he has also turned his attention to other forms of making, keeping and using written texts. This book collates six articles since published, showing new directions in the field of medieval literacy and communication. The first two chapters provide an overview of further work on medieval manuscript culture. The next four highlight a new interest in gender that has reviewed earlier ideas on literacy. |
