This work offers a series of linked studies of European print
culture in the sixteenth century, focusing particularly on France
and the regional, provincial experience of print. France, in the
sixteenth century, was one of the great centres of the European
publishing industry. But in the second half of the century the
established dominance of Paris and Lyon was increasingly challenged
by other new printing centres, stimulated in part by the religious
and political crisis of the French Wars of Religion. Drawing on the
data collected by the St Andrews French book project, the author
reconstructs the enigmatic history of a number of previously
unstudied printers. The focus throughout is on popular print, and
the growth of mass market for news, entertainment and religious
instruction. Customers interested in this title may also be
interested in French Vernacular Books, edited by Andrew Pettegree,
Malcolm Walsby and Alexander Wilkinson.
