Description

This volume examines the Birgittine Order of nuns as producers and readers of texts in Britain from the fifteenth to the early sixteenth century, through an analysis of medieval manuscripts and early printed books. It highlights the community's response to teachings of St Birgitta, the dissemination of Birgittine texts, and Lady Margaret Beaufort's role as intermediary between Syon and the outside world.
