Writing at the Origin of Capitalism describes how economic change in early modern England created new patterns of textual production and circulation with lasting consequences for English literature. Synthesizing research in book and media history, including investigations of manuscript and print, with Marxist historical theory, this volume demonstrates that England's transition to capitalism had a decisive impact on techniques of writing, rates of literacy, and modes of reception, and, in turn, on the form and style of texts. Individual chapters discuss the impact of market integration on linguistic standardization and the rise of a uniform English prose; the growth of a popular literary market alongside a national market in cheap commodities; and the decline of literary patronage with the monarchy's loosening grip on trade regulation, among other subjects. Peddlers' routes and price integration, monopoly licenses and bills of exchange, all prove vital for understanding early modern English writing. Each chapter reveals how books and documents were embedded in wider economic processes, and as a result, how the origin of capitalism constituted a revolutionary event in the history of English literature." -- Publisher's description 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 161-181) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: capitalism and communications -- The rise of English prose -- The beginnings of literary mass culture -- The problem of a courtly literature -- The writing of daily life -- English literature abroad -- Conclusion: the arc of change. 648 7 $a 1500-1699 $2 fast 650 0 $a Publishers and publishing $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Publishers and publishing $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Books and reading $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Books and reading $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Capitalism and literature. 650 7 $a Books and reading. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836454 650 7 $a Capitalism and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846459 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Publishers and publishing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083463 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Social life and customs $y 16th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Social life and customs $y 17th century. 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919930 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Documents d'information. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001043 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020522.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=781C42C6DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
