Introduction: the emergence of the English miscellany / Joshua Eckhardt and Daniel Starza Smith -- Before (and after) the miscellany: reconstructing Donne's Satyres in the Conway Papers / Daniel Starza Smith -- Donne, rhapsody and textual order / Piers Brown -- Early modern letter-books, miscellanies and the reading and reception of scribally copied letters / James Daybell -- The rector of Santon Downham and the Hieroglyphical Watch of Prague / Noah Millstone -- Unlocking the mysteries of Constance Aston Fowler's verse miscellany (Huntington Library MS 904): the hand b sribe identified / Helen Hackett -- William Smith, Vere Southerne, Jesuit Missioner, and three linked manuscript miscellanies / Cedric C. Brown -- Attribution and anonymity: Donne, Ralegh and Fletcher in British Library, Stowe MS 962 / Lara M. Crowley -- Copying epigrams in manuscript miscellanies / Joel Swann -- Camden's remaines and a pair of epideictic poetry anthologies / Joshua Eckhardt -- "The disagreeable figure of a common-place" in Katherine Butler's late-seventeenth-century verse miscellany / Victoria E.

Perhaps more than any other kind of book, manuscript miscellanies require a complex and 'material' reading strategy. This collection of essays models and refines the study of these complicated volumes. Using extensive textual and bibliographical evidence, it offers stimulating new readings of literature, politics and religion in the early modern period, and promises to make important interventions in the history of the book.
