Book Synopsis Documentary Culture and the Making of Medieval English Literature by : Emily Steiner
Book excerpt: Emily Steiner describes the rich intersections between legal documents and English literature in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. She argues that documentary culture (including charters, testaments, patents and seals) enabled writers to think in new ways about the conditions of textual production in late medieval England.
