With nearly 200 illustrations, Medieval English Manuscripts and Literary Forms offers both a broad survey of the physical forms and cultural histories of manuscripts and a dozen particularly significant case studies, including the Beowulf manuscript, the Ellesmere manuscript of the Canterbury Tales, and The Book of Margery Kempe.
Focusing on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Britain, Facsimile shows how reproductions of medieval manuscripts were central to a renewal of interest in the Middle Ages in the public at large; the consolidation and emergence of scholarly disciplines; and the increase in institutions that cared for medieval manuscripts.
Speaking, Stammering, Singing, Shouting traces the history of what was considered a good, normal, or healthy voice in the nineteenth century. From parrots and preachers to stammerers and singers, the book delves not only into changing medical norms and musical ideals but also into the sometimes painful and awkward daily work of having a voice.
