Medieval Reading: Grammar, Rhetoric and the Classical Text - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature
Reynolds, Suzanne (University of Birmingham)
This book investigates how people learnt to read in the Middle Ages. It uses medieval teachers' glosses on Latin texts to show how complex works were used in a very basic way in the classroom, and argues that this has profound implications for our understanding of medieval literacy and hermeneutics.
