Reading the Margins of the Early Modern Bible Hardback
by Ezra (Lecturer in Renaissance Literature, Lecturer in Renaissance Literature, University of Horbury
Part of the British Academy Monographs series
Hardback
Description
The margins of early modern bibles are filled with explanatory notes that have long been denounced as seditious, traitorous, and dangerous.
Little attention has been paid to the actual use of these margins by their contemporary readership.
Across chapters that attend to distinct demographics of readers ^—^ editors, clerical, Catholic, literary ^—^ Horbury demonstrates the diverse reading practices of those who pursued the margins of the early modern Bible.
From William Tyndale's New Testament to the impact of the King James, Reading the Margins of the Early Modern Bible reconceptualises our understanding of how the Bible was read in early modern England and presents a transformative investigation into the role that margins played in reading scripture.
