SAWYER, D., Reading English Verse in Manuscript c.1350-c.1500. Oxford University Press, 2020. 224p. Hardback. Series: Oxford English Monographs. Sawyer's study reminds all Middle English scholars that manuscripts can shed light on medieval perceptions of form, genre, and geographically based literary traditions in ways that modern ingrained academic disciplinary divisions, traditions, and schools of thought can miss, neglect, or obscure. It also, excitingly, reveals that no aspect of the material text should escape our notice: from the ruled text block to the punctus elevatus, the most minor codicological and paleographical features can reflect deep, far reaching cultural developments that transform our understanding of the past.
