Woodcuts are a unique resource in the study of late medieval and early modern books, since they have much to tell us about how books were produced and why, about reading habits and developments in literacy and about the part they played in social, political and religious change. The central focus of this volume is on the physical evidence of pictures and texts from the pre- and early Reformation periods, including printers such as Caxton and Wynkyn de Worde.

Review
?One of the delights of Driver?s well-designed book is the series of illustrations, which will make it a point of reference for discussions of illustrated books in England for years to come.?
