Abstract

The son of a Liverpool-based printer, John Southward (1840-1902) was a prolific writer and editor of books on the subject. He edited the Printers' Register from 1886 to 1890, and his Modern Printing: A Handbook remained a standard work for apprentice printers and compositors well into the 20th century. This dictionary of terms employed in printing offices was one of his earlier works, initially issued as a monthly serial within the Printers' Register. The resulting high demand led to the publication of a second edition in book format in 1875. Painstakingly compiled, it covers the history and practice of typography, and gives references to other works where further information can be found. Over a century later, the technology and terminology of typesetting and printing have undergone enormous changes, but this book shows the British printing industry in the mid-to-late 19th century.

Abstract

Am Beginn der Neuzeit läuten bahnbrechende Erfindungen im Buchdruck eine Medienrevolution ein, die die historische Entwicklung Europas bis zur Französischen Revolution prägte. Die neuen Bild- und Textdruckverfahren ermöglichten bald massenhafte Verbreitung von Information. Der komplexe Verbund mündlicher, schriftlicher und insbesondere gedruckter Medien - von Flugschrift, Kalender und Flugblatt über Buch, Zeitung und Zeitschrift bis zu Druckgraphik und Kartendruck - zählen zu den wesentlichen Voraussetzungen für die Reformation und die wissenschaftliche Revolution wie auch für die Aufklärung und die Entstehung einer politischen Öffentlichkeit. Andreas Würgler gibt einen Überblick über die Trends und Tendenzen der interdisziplinären historischen Medienforschung, die von technik-, gattungs- und kulturgeschichtlichen bis zu wirtschafts-, sozial- politikgeschichtlichen Aspekten reichen. Seine thematisch gegliederte Bibliographie bietet Orientierung für die eigene Forschung.

Abstract

The thirteen essays in this volume narrate and analyze the reciprocal influences of technological, intellectual, and sociopolitical changes on the structure of modern China's book (and print) trade; more specifically, they treat the rise of new genres of print, changes in writing practices, the dissemination of ideas and texts (both paper and electronic), the organization of knowledge, and the relationship between the state and print culture. The essays range chronologically from the late eighteenth century to the present, an over two-century transition period that allows authors to draw comparisons between the largely woodblock print culture of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; the mechanized publishing of the late-nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries; and the global internet culture of today.

Abstract

The consumption of books is closely intertwined with the material conditions of their production. The Tudor period saw both revolutionary progress in printing technology and the survival of traditional forms of communication from the manuscript era. Offering a comprehensive account of Tudor book culture, this collection of essays by experts in early book history consider the formative years of English printing; book format, marketing, and the reception of books; print, politics, and patronage; and connections between reading and religion. They challenge the conventional view of the 1557 foundation of the Stationers’ Company as an event that marks a shift between older and newer modes of book production, sale, and reading under the 'early Tudor' monarchs (1485-1558) versus Elizabeth (1558-1603). Both continuity and change led to the gradual development of late medieval book culture into the genuinely early modern book culture that emerged by the death of Queen Elizabeth.
