Description

The Book History Reader brings together a rich variety of writings examining different aspects of the history of books and print culture.

It looks at the development of the book, the move from spoken word to written texts, the commodification of books and authors, the power and profile of readers, and the future of the book in the electronic age.

The Reader is arranged in thematic sections and features a general introduction as well as an introduction to each section.

This pioneering book is a valuable resource for all those involved in book publishing studies and book history as well as students of English literature, cultural studies, sociology and history.
