Review:
There is much to examine and ponder - an act which is made easier by the book's handsome production and lavish (and readable) illustrations. SHARP NEWS
This is an important and stimulating contribution to our knowledge of scribal practice and the context of production of some of the major English texts of the period, and a valuable reminder that the study of archival documents is as essential to literary scholars as to historians. ENGLISH
This most remarkable study... major veil and explains much better than ever before the conditions of how late medieval English literature was created, produced, copied, and disseminated. MEDIAEVISTIK 26
Offers an exciting insight in the discussion of medieval book production. [It] is a significant contribution and[...]an achievement to be celebrated. AMARC NEWSLETTER
Mooney and Stubbs use their assembled materials to mount a large-scale historical argument...they argue... that all the scribes knew intimately the poets they communicated in manuscripts. [...] Mooney and Stubbs' s study will certainly stimulate further discussion of an important stage of London book production. TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
