Drawing on a wide range of texts, from well-known poems of Chaucer and Lydgate to wall texts, banqueting poems and devotional works written by and for women, Participatory reading argues that making readers work offered writers ways to shape their reputations and the futures of their productions. At the same time, the interactive reading practices they promoted enabled audiences to contribute to -- and contest -- writers' burgeoning authority, making books and reading work for everyone.Manchester medieval literature and culture.Literature and societyEnglandHistory16th centuryLiterature and societyEnglandHistoryTo 1500ReadingEngland16th centuryReadingEnglandTo 1500English literatureMiddle English, 1100-1500History and criticismElectronic books.
