Introduction
This AHRB-funded project aims to redress the scholarly neglect of mid-Tudor writing, a period which saw the Reformation, the consolidation of the Tudor state, and the rise of English as a national language. The project will involve the compilation of a searchable, on-line catalogue of literary works, 1519-1579, including details of titles, authors, printers, booksellers, dedicatees, and information about genres, sources and literary coteries. Further to that, the project will bring together specialists on the period from the UK, Europe and North America and will produce a companion of essays, enhancing appreciation and understanding of mid-Tudor writing and placing it in its social, cultural, intellectual, literary and historical contexts.
