This book presents the collectors' roles as prominently as the
collections of books and texts which they assembled. Contributors
explore the activities and networks shaping a range of continental
and transcontinental European public and private collections during
the Renaissance, Enlightenment and modern eras. They study the
impact of class, geographical location and specific cultural
contexts on the gathering and use of printed and handwritten texts
and other printed artefacts. The volume explores the social
dimension of book collecting, and considers how practices of
collecting developed during these periods of profound cultural,
social and political change.
