Description: This chapter considers Margaret Beaufort’s role as patron to the early English printers and asks in what ways and to what extent we might consider these relationships collaborative. In their prologues, epilogues, printer’s marks, and colophons, William Caxton, Wynkyn de Worde, and Richard Pynson provide a record of their working arrangements with Beaufort that bear witness to the multiple roles she played in English book history—as writer, translator, commissioner, purchaser, distributor, and reader. Rhetorically rich and visually emphatic—these paratexts illuminate the ways in which Beaufort’s promotion of textual production could provide a model of royal patronage from which later Tudor women would draw inspiration and authority.
