Too often print media has been represented as an engine of metropolitan modernity. Rather than being the passive recipients of print culture generated in city centres, the inhabitants of provinces and colonies have acted independently, as jobbing printers in provincial Britain, black newspaper proprietors in the West Indies, and library patrons in "Middletown," Indiana, to mention a few examples. This important new book gives us a sophisticated account of how printed materials circulated, a more precise sense of their impact, and a fuller of understanding of how local contexts shaped reading experiences."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Books and reading $x History. 650 0 $a Book industries and trade $x History. 650 0 $a Literature publishing $x History. 650 0 $a Transmission of texts $x History. 650 0 $a Popular literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Popular culture $x History. 700 1 $a Felsenstein, Frank, $e editor. $e editor. 700 1 $a Hall, Kenneth R., $e editor. $e editor. 700 1 $a Connolly, James J., $d 1962- $e editor. 700 1 $a Collier, Patrick, $e editor. 700 1 $a Hall, Robert G. $q (Robert Gaston), $d 1958- $e editor. $e editor. 830 0 $a Studies in book and print culture. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170503023629.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BCBD0E62A18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
