Deeply informed and lavishly illustrated, Opening Up Middle English Manuscripts is a comprehensive introduction to the modern study of Middle English manuscripts. It is intended for students and scholars who are familiar with some of the major Middle English literary works, such as The Canterbury Tales, Gawain and the Green Knight, Piers Plowman, and the romances, mystical works or cycle plays, but who may not know much about the surviving manuscripts. The book approaches these texts in a way that takes into account the whole manuscript or codex―its textual and visual contents, physical state, readership, and cultural history. Opening Up Middle English Manuscripts also explores the function of illustrations in fashioning audience response to particular authors and their texts over the course of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
Kathryn Kerby-Fulton, Linda Olson, and Maidie Hilmo―scholars at the forefront of the modern study of Middle English manuscripts―focus on the writers most often taught in Middle English courses, including Geoffrey Chaucer, William Langland, the Gawain Poet, Thomas Hoccleve, Julian of Norwich, and Margery Kempe, highlighting the specific issues that shaped literary production in late medieval England. Among the topics they address are the rise of the English language, literacy, social conditions of authorship, early instances of the "Alliterative Revival," women and book production, nuns' libraries, patronage, household books, religious and political trends, and attempts at revisionism and censorship.
As of 2024, Opening Up Middle English Manuscripts is available as an ebook, ideal for instructors teaching the book in courses. The fully-searchable PDF ebook version is available through most digital textbook platforms and library ebook aggregaton platforms.
