This collection is the first to historicise the term ephemera and
its meanings for early modern England and considers its
relationship to time, matter, and place. It asks: how do we
conceive of ephemera in a period before it was routinely employed
(from the eighteenth century) to describe ostensibly disposable
print? In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries-when objects and
texts were rapidly proliferating-the term began to acquire its
modern association with transitoriness. But contributors to this
volume show how ephemera was also integrally related to wider
social and cultural ecosystems. Chapters explore those ecosystems
and think about the papers and artefacts that shaped homes,
streets, and cities or towns and their attendant preservation,
loss, or transformation. The studies here therefore look beyond
static records to think about moments of process and transmutation
and accordingly get closer to early modern experiences, identities,
and practices.
