Abstract

"Women in Print 2 is a collection of essays in two related volumes which consider the diversity of roles occupied by women in the authorship, design, production, distribution and consumption of printed material from the fifteenth century onwards. The contributions included in Women in Print 2 cover the whole of the 'letterpress era' in Europe from the early fifteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. The essays address three themes: the role of women in the production of print; in its distribution; in addition to some neglected areas of women's consumption of print. To a greater extent the participation of women in the production and distribution of print has been written by the men who dominated the trade. Women in Print 2 explores the often-overlooked contribution to the business aspects of the printing and publishing industries, particularly female involvement in roles that were customarily seen as male preserves. This collection of essays brings together insights from multiple perspectives, seeking to recover the unheard voices and hitherto unnoticed activities of the many women who participated in the production, distribution and consumption of the printed word and image."-- (Provided by publisher.)

Abstract

"This book provides a new perspective on book history by exploring communities created by the production and consumption of printed material. Essays by leading scholars explore the connections between writers, printers, booksellers and readers and examine changes and continuities across the period 1500 to 1800. As well as investigating the networks behind the production and dissemination of printed material, this collection examines the ways in which readers consumed, used and shared their printed texts. By focusing on the materiality of early modern texts, contributors to this volume offer new interpretations of the history of reading, the book trade, and the book as an object in early modern Europe"--

Abstract

Al jaren rommelt het op de boekenmarkt. Grote boekhandelsketens zien zich gedwongen om fors te saneren en menig boekhandelaar gooit de handdoek in de ring. Niet alleen de financiële crisis is de reden voor de teloorgang van de boekhandel. We lezen minder en kopen minder boeken. En voor degenen die dat wel doen, is online bestellen en zeker het (illegaal) downloaden van e-books natuurlijk veel gemakkelijker. Wat willen we nog met papieren boeken? Het digitale boek biedt immers zoveel voordelen. Maar inmiddels is er ook aardig wat onderzoek beschikbaar over de nadelen van e-books en kunnen we het papieren boek de plaats geven die het toekomt. Lisa Kuitert bespreekt de stand van zaken, en geeft met veel voorbeelden en saillante details uit heden en verleden de verstokte boekenliefhebber de wapens in handen om zich door deze discussie heen te slaan.

Abstract

Forms, Formats and the Circulation of Knowledge explores the printscape – the mental mapping of knowledge in all its printed shapes – to chart the British networks of publishers, printers, copyright-holders, readers and authors. The transdisciplinary volume edited by Louisiane Ferlier and Bénédicte Miyamoto skilfully recovers innovations and practices in the book trade between 1688 and 1832. It investigates how print circulated information in a multitude of sizes and media, through an evolving framework of transactions. The authority of print is demonstrated by studies of prospectuses, blank forms, periodicals, pamphlets, globes, games and ephemera, uniquely gathered in 11 essays engaging in legal, economic, literary, and historical methodologies. The tight focus on material format reappraises a disorderly market accommodating a widening audience consumption.

Abstract

"This book attends to the most essential, lucrative, and overlooked business activity of early modern Europe: the trade of paper. Despite the well-known fact that paper was crucial to the success of printing and record-keeping alike, paper remains one of the least studied areas of early modern history. Organised into three sections, 'Hotspots and Trade Routes', 'Usual Dealings', and 'Recycling Economies', the chapters in the collection shed light on the practices, materials, and networks of the paper trade. Altogether, the collection uncovers the actors involved in the networks of paper production, transportation, purchase, and reuse, between the thirteenth and nineteenth centuries and across the central and peripheral papermaking regions of Europe"
