Presents an argument that Additional MS 37049, a Carthusian miscellany housed in the British Library closes the gap between group spectatorship and private study in late medieval England. This book addresses the manuscript's texts and illustrations to examine connections between reading and performance within the solitary monk's cell and outside.
