Description

This session examines the nature of our contemporary investment in medieval material culture, especially that of the book. As the second session in honour of Boydell and Brewer's commissioning editor Caroline Palmer, it pays tribute to her advocacy of material culture as an important strand of interdisciplinary medievalist publishing.
