The Coming of the Book : The Impact of Printing, 1450-1800 Paperback / softback
by Henri-Jean Martin, Lucien Febvre
Part of the Verso World History series
Paperback / softback
Description
The emergence of the book was not merely an event of world historical importance, but the dawn of modernity.
In this much praised work, Lucien Febvre and Henri-Jean Martin mesh together economic and technological history, sociology and anthropology, with the study of consciousness itself to root the development of printing in the changing social relations and ideological struggles of Western Europe.
Now that the printed page may become a thing of the past, The Coming of the Book is more pertinent than ever.
