This book challenges the hitherto generally accepted belief that late-medieval writers wrote for an audience of individual, private readers. Coleman argues that both in Britain and France, from the mid-fourteenth to the late-fifteenth century, literate, elite audiences continued to prefer public reading aloud to private reading.
