Littera is at the heart of the set of theories and practices that constitute the 'graphic culture' of the book's title. The book shows for the first time that littera pedagogy was an 'us and them' discourse that functioned as a vehicle for identity formation. Using littera pedagogy as a framework for understanding the medieval English-language corpus from the point of view of the readers and writers who produced it, Visible English offers new insights on experiences of writing and reading English in communities ranging from those first in contact with Latin literacy to those where print was an alternative to manuscript. Discussing a broad range of materials from so-called 'pen-trials' and graffiti to key literary manuscripts, Visible English provides new perspectives on the ways that the alphabet was understood, on genres such as alphabet poems, riddles, and scribal signatures, and on the different ways in which scribes copied Old and Middle English texts. It argues that the graphic culture underpinned and transmitted by littera pedagogy provided frameworks for the development and understanding of English-language literacy practices and new ways of experiencing social belonging and difference. To be literate in English, it proposes, was to inhabit identities marked by Anglophone literate practices."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 359-394) and indexes. 648 7 $a 450-1500 $2 fast 650 0 $a English language $y Old English, ca. 450-1100 $x Writing. 650 0 $a English language $y Middle English, 1100-1500 $x Writing. 650 0 $a Scribes $z England. 650 0 $a Literacy $z England $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Books and reading $z England $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Latin language $x Influence on English. 650 0 $a Manuscripts, English (Old) 650 0 $a Manuscripts, English (Middle) 650 0 $a Pattern books $z England $x History. 650 7 $a English language $x Middle English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710955 650 7 $a English language $x Old English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710958 830 0 $a Utrecht studies in medieval literacy ; $v 54. $x 2034-9416 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014550.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F5AFCBDE3D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
