Literacy and the Social Order
Author: David CressyPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521032466
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
In this exploration of the social context of reading and writing in pre-industrial England, David Cressy tackles important questions about the limits of participation in the mainstream of early modern society. To what extent could people at different social levels share in political, religious, literary and cultural life; how vital was the ability to read and write; and how widely distributed were these skills? Using a combination of humanist and social-scientific methods, Dr Cressy provides a detailed reconstruction of the profile of literacy in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England, looking forward to the eighteenth century and also making comparisons with other European societies.

Book Description
Michael Clanchy's From Memory to Written Record, first published in 1979, has shaped the study of medieval literacy. Apart from continuing to work on 'pragmatic literacy', he has also turned his attention to other forms of making, keeping, and using written texts. This book collates six articles since published, showing new directions in the field of medieval literacy and communication. The first two chapters--'Looking Back from the Invention of Printing' and 'Parchment and Paper: Manuscript Culture, 1100-1500 AD'--provide an overview of further work on medieval manuscript culture. The next four--'Images of Ladies with Prayer Books: What Do They Signify?'; 'An Icon of Literacy: The Depiction at Tuse of Jesus Going to School'; 'The ABC Primer: Was it in Latin or English?'; 'Did Mothers Teach Their Children to Read?'--highlight a new interest in gender that has reviewed earlier ideas on literacy. Featuring 49 colour illustrations, the book also includes an Introduction, Bibliography, and Index.
