The text clearly explains the technicalities of printing and publishing and discusses the formal elements of books and manuscripts, which are necessary to facilitate an understanding of that impact. This collaboratively authored narrative history combines the knowledge and expertise of five scholars who seek to answer questions such as: How does the material form of a text affect its meaning? How do books shape political and religious movements? How have the economics of the book trade and copyright shaped the literary canon? Who has been included in and excluded from the world of books, and why? The Book in Britain: A Historical Introduction will appeal to all scholars, students, and historians interested in the written word and its continued production and presentation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Books $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Printing $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Book industries and trade $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Books and reading $z Great Britain $x History. 700 1 $a Brewer, David A. $q (David Allen), $d 1969- $e author. 700 1 $a Colclough, Stephen, $e author. 700 1 $a Echard, SiaÌn, $e author. 700 1 $a Lesser, Zachary, $e editor. $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Allington, Daniel, author. $t Book in Britain $b First edition. $d Hoboken, NJ : Wiley-Blackwell, 2019 $z 9781119115168 $w (DLC) 2018061566 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190702015956.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=872F2BEE6CA011E9A39CB90697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
