Before the printing press the content of books was mutable. Scribes not only made typographical errors, they also changed the text according to their own beliefs. Schoff, who has published on aspects of late medieval English literature, uses the work of three very different fourteenth century authors to demonstrate changes made by their appearance in print. But it is not the text of Chaucer, Margery Kemp and Langland that Schoff considers here but the ways in which printed books solidified the authorial voice as filtered through the editor and printer. She also notes that the attribution of the author was instrumental in the censorship of books. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
