But in fact, both practices date back much further than is generally thought--even by scholars. Drawing on a previously unavailable archive, Juliet Fleming reveals the unknown and disregarded literary arts of sixteenth century England. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eGraffiti and the Writing Arts of Early Modern England\u003c\/i\u003e, Fleming argues that our modern assumptions of what constitutes written expression have limited our access to and understanding of early modern history and writing. Fleming combines detailed historical scholarship with intellectual daring in a work that describes how writing practices have not been limited to the boundaries of the page; instead they have included body surfaces, ceramics, ceilings, walls, and windows. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Moving beyond what has been preserved in print and manuscript, this book claims the whitewashed wall as the primary textual canvas of the early modern English, explores the tattooing practices of sixteenth-century Europeans, and uncovers the poetics of ceramic cookware. \u003ci\u003eGraffiti and the Writing Arts of Early Modern England \u003c\/i\u003ewill provide a startling new perspective for scholars of early modern literature and cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juliet Fleming\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1861890893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781861890894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Juliet Fleming","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48440876531967,"sku":"9781861890894","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f60fe839-d8be-41d9-a520-e57cdefdab01.jpg?v=1777187263","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/graffiti-and-the-writing-arts-juliet-fleming-9781861890894","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
