Taking its cue from the advances made by recent work on manuscript culture and book history, this volume also includes studies of material evidence, looking at women's participation in the making of books, and the traces they left when they encountered actual volumes.Finally, studies of women's roles in relation to apparently ephemeral texts, such as letters, pamphlets and almanacs, challenge traditional divisions between public and private spheres as well as between manuscript and print. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dr Anne Lawrence-Mathers is Lecturer in History, University of Reading; Phillipa Hardman is Senior Lecturer in English, University of Reading. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Contributors: Gemma Allen, Anna Bayman, James Daybell, Alice Eardley, Christopher Hardman, Phillipa Hardman, Elizabeth Heale, Anne Lawrence-Mathers, Adam Smyth, Alison Wiggins, Graham Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne Lawrence-Mathers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1903153328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781903153321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e York Medieval Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Anne Lawrence-Mathers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46767210627327,"sku":"9781903153321","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b2eaf20-b922-4bb0-8029-95a0b075fdb3.jpg?v=1744169155","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-and-writing-c1340-c1650-anne-lawrence-mathers-9781903153321","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
