What was a book in early modern England? By combining book history,
bibliography and literary criticism, Material Texts in Early Modern
England explores how sixteenth- and seventeenth-century books were
stranger, richer things than scholars have imagined. Adam Smyth
examines important aspects of bibliographical culture which have
been under-examined by critics: the cutting up of books as a form
of careful reading; book destruction and its relation to canon
formation; the prevalence of printed errors and the literary
richness of mistakes; and the recycling of older texts in the
bodies of new books, as printed waste. How did authors, including
Herbert, Jonson, Milton, Nashe and Cavendish, respond to this sense
of the book as patched, transient, flawed, and palimpsestic?
Material Texts in Early Modern England recovers these traits and
practices, and so crucially revises our sense of what a book was,
and what a book might be.
