Vernacularity in England and Wales, c. 1300-1550

This interdisciplinary book explores ‘vernacularity’ as a concept over the period c 1300-1550, in literature, history, architecture, language studies. It contains ground-breaking essays addressing the subject from different disciplinary perspectives, each studying a specific corpus of evidence. Salter’s contribution involved conceptualising the themes presented at the initial conference of papers (held within Leeds IMC) from which the publication of the volume was invited by a General Editor of the Brepols series. Salter’s essay is specifically concerned with manuscript study -the ways that comparison between different versions of ‘the same’ item adds to knowledge of vernacular culture and reading c 1350-1550.
