Before the Portuguese Royal Court moved to its South-American
colony in 1808, books and periodicals had a very limited
circulation there. It was only when Brazilian ports were opened to
foreign trade that the book trade began to flourish, and printed
matter became more easily available to readers, whether for
pleasure, for instruction or for political reasons. This book
brings together a collection of original articles on the
transnational relations between Brazil and Europe, especially
England and France, in the domain of literature and print culture
from its early stages to the end of the 1920s. It covers the time
when it was forbidden to print in Brazil, and Portugal strictly
controlled which books were sent to the colony, through the quick
flourishing of a transnational printing industry and book market
after 1822, to the shift of hegemony in the printing business from
foreign to Brazilian hands at the beginning of the twentieth
century.
