The spread of printing to Renaissance Italy had a dramatic impact
on all users of books. As works came to be diffused more widely and
cheaply, so authors had to adapt their writing and their methods of
publishing to the demands and opportunities of the new medium, and
reading became a more frequent and user-friendly activity.
Printing, Writers and Readers in Renaissance Italy focuses on this
interaction between the book industry and written culture. After
describing the new technology and the contexts of publishing and
bookselling, it examines the continuities and changes faced by
writers in the shift from manuscript to print, the extent to which
they benefited from print in their careers, and the greater
accessibility of books to a broader spectrum of readers, including
women and the less well educated. This is the first integrated
study of a topic of central importance in Italian and European
culture.
