Sonja Drimmer, Impressive Politics: Print before the Press in Late Medieval England

Part of HFA Days: Faculty Lightning Talks, Sonja Drimmer introduces her forthcoming book, rethinking “print” before Gutenberg’s press. Focusing on coins, badges, seals, and heraldic insignia in late medieval England, she examines how replication and the language of impression shaped political discourse and proposes a broader understanding of print as a process tied to representation, value, and trust.
