SPACES FOR READING IN LATER MEDIEVAL ENGLAND - ...

We are living in an age in which the relationship between reading and space is evolving
swiftly. Cutting-edge technologies and developments in the publication and consumption of
literature continue to uncover new physical  electronic  and virtual contexts in which reading
can take place. In comparison with the accessibility that has accompanied these developments 
the medieval reading experience may initially seem limited and restrictive  available only to a
literate few or to their listeners  yet attention to the spaces in which medieval reading
habits can be traced reveals a far more vibrant picture in which different kinds of spaces
provided opportunities for a wide range of interactions with and contributions to the texts
being read. Drawing on a rich variety of material  this collection of essays demonstrates that
the spaces in which reading took place (or in which reading could take place) in later medieval
England directly influenced how and why reading happened.
