Ralph Hanna is Professor of Palaeography at the University of Oxford.Review of the hardback: 'The strong point of London Literature, 1300–1380 is its combination of close manuscript study, including palaeography, with a welcome awareness of modern dialect geography, and a readiness at all times to step outside the conventional boundaries of literary history. The need for such a combination has often been proclaimed, far more rarely satisfied. And there is no posturing in it … This book is a model for studies of a vanished literary community.' The Times Literary Supplement
Review of the hardback: 'Ralph Hanna is a very distinguished scholar whose work should always be taken seriously. His command of the fields of English medieval literature, language, history, material production, his encyclopaedic knowledge and recall of a vast array of primary and secondary texts, are truly impressive, enviable - and they mean that it is impossible not to learn a great deal from this book.' The Dalhousie Review
