Description
Professional book production and circulation in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, including Chauceriana, present courtly models for gender, eventually affecting rural gentry. The Findern MS revises femininity, and the female voice can be found in some love lyrics. In contrast, the commonplace book of Richard Hill presents ideals of masculinity for the merchant community.
