description: Looking at the cultural and historical intersection between textual and sexual reproduction, American and British scholars of literature reveal that during the early modern period, the awkward and incomplete transition from manuscript to print brought on by the invention of the printing press temporarily exposed and disturbed the epistemic foundations of English culture. Among their topics are Ben Jonson's branded thumb and the imprint of textual paternity, woodcut illustration in 16th-century England as the bastard art, monstrous birth broadsides, marginal maternity in Lady Anne Clifford's copy of A Miror for Magistrates, and in locus parentis.
