| Abstract | This session uses the evidence of material texts to ask broader questions about literary, religious, and intellectual life in the medieval and early Tudor period. Based on the study of medieval manuscript miscellanies and manuscript collections, the three papers discuss the bilingual literary culture of 13th-century England, the culture of private devotion in later medieval England, and the role the manuscripts collected by Sir John Prise (after the dissolution of the monasteries) played in shaping his vision of British history. |
