- This is a research monograph and a “longer-form output”, totalling 325 pages and 110k words. The project began several years ago, and it has involved sustained research effort and writing for over 5 years. The bedrock of its evidence was palaeographical consultation of over 600 manuscripts spread across more than seventy libraries in eight countries in Europe and the US. The research was supplemented by digital images. The book provides the first full-length discussion of British engagement with Renaissance humanism in the fifteenth century and challenges wider claims about the ‘spread’ of the Renaissance, proposing instead a ‘cosmopolitan’ model.
