This study comprises the proceedings of a conference held in St
Andrews in 1999 which gathered some of the most distinguished
historians of the French book. It presents the 16th-century book in
a new context and provides the first comprehensive view of this
absorbing field. Four major themes are reflected here: the
relationship between the manuscript tradition and the printed book;
an exploration of the variety of genres that emerged in the 16th
century and how they were used; a look at publishing and
book-selling strategies and networks, and the ways in which the
authorities tried to control these; and a discussion of the way in
which confessional literature diverged and converged. The range of
specialist knowledge embedded in this study will ensure its appeal
to specialists in French history, scholars of the book and of
16th-century French literature, and historians of religion.
