Gutenberg vs Caxton: who truly opened the book to the people?

I cast the movable type and pressed the Bible itself in Mainz—every printer since works in my shadow.

Yet you printed in Latin for scholars; I printed Chaucer in English, for merchants and mothers and men who never saw a cloister.

A machine that dies with one language is no machine at all—my letters could set any tongue on Earth.

But letters unread are only ink; I gave a nation its own words, and that is when a page becomes a people.
