The Paston letters have long exercised a tremendous fascination for their capacity to recreate in vivid detail the lives of an ordinary well-to-do fifteenth-century family. H. S. Bennett's classic study recreates beautifully their historical context and offers the additional perspectives provided by the letters of their correspondents: bishops and serving men, prisoners and dukes, priests and ribald companions. Among the intriguing areas of late medieval life which are explored are marriage, women's lives, education, travelling, the law and lawlessness, the clergy and the changing face of the English countryside. This account of the Pastons' England reveals an age of historical transition as it was played out in the daily challenges of individual lives.

"This classic work, first published in 1952, covers in detail the history of books from Caxton to the eve of the Civil War, discussing the evidence for public literacy, the regulation of the book trade, the demand for books, the authors, translators and printers of early books, and their methods. It is a history of society at the opening of the Art of Printing, without which civilisation as we know it could hardly have taken shape at all - a chapter in the human story, unique in its significance and remarkably obscure before this book was first published. The author gives an account of the total output of books and pamphlets over the period, irrespective of their qualities as literature. " (Publisher).

Here is "English Books & Readers 1475 to 1557 : Being a Study in the History of the Book Trade from Caxton to the Incorporation of the Stationers' Company" by H. S. Bennett. Early Publishers and Printers. Second Edition, published in 1969 by Cambridge University Press, hardcover format. From the jacket write-up : "H. S. Bennett was Fellow of the British Academy and formerly Reader in English at the University of Cambridge. This book covers in detail the topics of his lectures. He writes the history of books from Caxton down to the incorporation of the Stationer's Company, discussing the evidence for public literacy, the regulation of the book trade, the demand for books, the authors, translators, and printers of early books, and their methods. It is a history of society at the opening of the Age of Printing, without which civilization as we know it could hardly have taken shape at all - a chapter in the human story, unique in its significance, and hitherto remarkably obscure. This new edition has given Mr. Bennett the opportunity of correcting errors in the transcriptions and references, and of using information from his more recent researches."
