Practices of Ephemera in Early Modern England Hardback
Edited by Callan Davies, Hannah Lilley, Catherine, PhD Richardson
Part of the Material Readings in Early Modern Culture series
Hardback
Description
This collection is the first to historicise the term ephemera and its meanings for early modern England and considers its relationship to time, matter, and place.
It asks: how do we conceive of ephemera in a period before it was routinely employed (from the eighteenth century) to describe ostensibly disposable print?
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries—when objects and texts were rapidly proliferating—the term began to acquire its modern association with transitoriness.
But contributors to this volume show how ephemera was also integrally related to wider social and cultural ecosystems.
Chapters explore those ecosystems and think about the papers and artefacts that shaped homes, streets, and cities or towns and their attendant preservation, loss, or transformation.
The studies here therefore look beyond static records to think about moments of process and transmutation and accordingly get closer to early modern experiences, identities, and practices.
