Sir Philip Sydney and the Circulation of Manuscripts 1558-1640

"Henry Woudhuysen is, for the most part, concerned with practices that are already documented for other periods, but offers a wealth of new evidence that substantially transforms our understanding of them....Woudhuysen's study is especially valuable for its tracing of the story of scribal publication back to the period at which secular traditions of transmission were forced to take over from the medieval ones destroyed with the monastic scriptoria....[A] magnificent anatomy of the sprawling body of early modern scribal practice..."Woudhuysen, H. R. is the author of 'Sir Philip Sydney and the Circulation of Manuscripts 1558-1640' with ISBN 9780198129660 and ISBN 0198129661.
