Discussing a broad range of materials from so-called \u2018pen-trials\u2019 and graffiti to key literary manuscripts, <em>Visible English<\/em> provides new perspectives on the ways that the alphabet was understood, on genres such as alphabet poems, riddles, and scribal signatures, and on the different ways in which scribes copied English texts. Its five thematic chapters each treat an aspect of writing practice in relation to literacy pedagogy: \u2018Graphs, Alphabets, and Scripts\u2019, \u2018Graphic Models\u2019, \u2018Graphic Play\u2019, \u2018Graphic Display\u2019, and \u2018Reprographics\u2019. Generously illustrated, it is available in hardback and as an e-book. https:\/\/www.brepols.net\/products\/IS-9782503598420-1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wendy Scase\u2019s new monograph offers new insights on experiences of writing and reading English in communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2491,"featured_media":413,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50","no-featured-image-padding"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2023\/01\/Visible-English-Cover-600x400.png","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/57\/2023\/01\/Visible-English-Cover-600x600.png","author_info":{"display_name":"Nathan Jopling","author_link":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/author\/ntj795\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2491"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=412"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":414,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/412\/revisions\/414"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/more.bham.ac.uk\/crems\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
