| Summary: | "The margins of early modern bibles are filled with explanatory notes that have long been denounced as seditious, traitorous, and dangerous. Yet little attention has been paid to the actual use of these margins by these bibles' readership. Across chapters that attend to distinct demographics of readers - editors, clerical, Catholic, literary - Reading the margins of the early modern Bible demonstrates the diverse reading practices of those who pursued the margins of the early modern Bible. From William Tyndale's New Testament to the impact of the King James, this monograph reconceptualises our understanding of how the Bible was read in early modern England and presents a transformative investigation into the role that margins played in reading scripture." -- |
