Malcolm Richardson, Professor of English at LSU Baton Rouge, used an Awards to Louisiana Artists and Scholars (ATLAS) grant to complete his monograph, Middle-Class Writing in Late Medieval London. Published by Pickering & Chatto as part of its History of the Book series, Dr. Richardson’s work studies the acceptance and uses of writing by middle-class Londoners during the late medieval period. His analysis provides vital insight into the development of the written word during this important transitional period, and a better understanding of the place of writing in history.
