About the course
Throughout the Middle Ages, information spread in various ways - official news spread both in oral and written form while the church communicated through many forms of media, in ceremonies and otherwise. During the fifteenth century, written communication was made easier thanks to developments in printing; however, many Medieval modes of communication continued to be in use.
In this course, you will gain knowledge about modes of communication in the Medieval and Early Modern eras. You will study both manuscripts and early printed books, discuss how information spread, the impact of printing, as well as changes in literacy. The focus is on the time period c. 1350-1600.
