About this book
Reviews
“This highly engaging and multifaceted collection of essays addresses in exciting new ways British regional histories of printing and bookselling in the hand press period from the mid-fifteenth to the early nineteenth century. By focusing on the agency of place in writing, production and distribution, contributors vividly illuminate the interactions between trades and communities and the legislative and institutional structures governing them, but also how those involved in regional printing and book trades created particular and often widely influential narratives about their regions. This welcome re-evaluation of regional print production challenges and reinvigorates the whole history of print in Britain across more than four centuries.”
—James Raven FBA, Fellow of Magdalene College, University of Cambridge
