LONGLISTED FOR THE HISTORICAL WRITERS' ASSOCIATION NON-FICTION
CROWN A SUNDAY TIMES NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Timely ... a
long and engrossing survey of the library' FT 'A sweeping,
absorbing history, deeply researched' Richard Ovenden, author of
Burning the Books Famed across the known world, jealously guarded
by private collectors, built up over centuries, destroyed in a
single day, ornamented with gold leaf and frescoes or filled with
bean bags and children's drawings - the history of the library is
rich, varied and stuffed full of incident. In this, the first major
history of its kind, Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen
explore the contested and dramatic history of the library, from the
famous collections of the ancient world to the embattled public
resources we cherish today. Along the way, they introduce us to the
antiquarians and philanthropists who shaped the world's great
collections, trace the rise and fall of fashions and tastes, and
reveal the high crimes and misdemeanours committed in pursuit of
rare and valuable manuscripts.
