Engaging with recent work on material culture and the history of the book, Lucy Razzall weaves together close readings of texts and objects, from wills, plays, sermons and religious polemic, to chests, book-bindings, reliquaries and coffins. She demonstrates how the material and imaginative possibilities of the box were dynamically connected in post-Reformation England, structuring modes of thought. These early modern responses to materiality offer ways in which the discipline of book history might reframe its analysis of the material text. In tracing the early modern significance of the box as matter and metaphor, this book reveals the origins of some of the enduring habits of thought with which we still respond to people, texts and things--back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 231-251) and index. 505 0 $a Chests of the mind in early modern England -- The Renaissance of the box : metaphors of interpretation -- The word in a box : reforming the book -- How to read a reliquary -- Because this box we know : embodying the box. 648 7 $a 1500-1799 $2 fast 650 0 $a English literature $y Early modern, 1500-1700 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Boxes $z England $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Boxes $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Boxes $z England $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Books and reading $z England $x History. 650 0 $a Material culture $z England $x History. 650 0 $a Containers in literature. 650 0 $a Metaphor in literature. 650 0 $a Books $z England $x History. $x History. 650 7 $a Metaphor in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01018298 650 7 $a Containers in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902887 650 7 $a Books $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836440 650 7 $a Books and reading. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836454 650 7 $a Boxes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837281 650 7 $a English literature $x Early modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710960 650 7 $a Material culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011739 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Razzall, Lucy. $t Boxes and books in early modern England. $d Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108924788 $w (OCoLC)1265456090 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031910.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EDAF08DE1DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
