Russell Rutter has argued that Wynkyn de Worde is given more credit than is due; that Caxton already published with a mass audience in mind and focused on generating real sales rather than securing patronage. Caxton was already far removed from the patronage system in comparison to relative contemporaries like Metham, Scrope, and Capgrave, not to mention those writers and publishers preceding the printing press. I don't see necessarily a reason to update the article at this time, as Caxton scholars are still working with older scholarship that precedes ideas like Rutter's and therefore the claim in the article is consistent with what is predominantly published. However, the statements about Caxton are not necessarily true.

See Russell Rutter: "William Caxton and Literary Patronage," Studies in Philology, Vol. 84, No. 4 (Autumn, 1987), pp. 440-470 Delvebelow (talk) 00:46, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
