Was the pen ever mightier than the sword? This exhibition looks closely at the hand-written text in early modern Britain, and asks what it has to tell us about power, wit, and the questions we might ask of the manuscript past.

* Paper-businesses: Manuscript and Power in Early Modern England by Kathryn James, curator of Early Modern Books and Manuscripts and the Osborn Collection
