During the eighteenth century there was a growing interest in
recording, listing and documenting the world, whether for personal
interest and private consumption, or general record and the greater
good. Such documentation was done through both the written and
printed word. Each genre had its own material conventions and
spawned industries which supported these practices. This volume
considers writing and printing in parallel: it highlights the
intersections between the two methods of communication; discusses
the medium and materiality of the message; considers how writing
and printing were deployed in the construction of personal and
cultural identities; and explores the different dimensions
surrounding the production, distribution and consumption of private
and public letters, words and texts during the eighteenth-century.
In combination the chapters in this volume consider how the
processes of both writing and printing contributed to the creation
of cultural identity and taste, assisted in the spread of knowledge
and furthered personal, political, economic, social and cultural
change in Britain and the wider-world. This volume provides an
original narrative on the nature of communication and brings a
fresh perspective on printing history, print culture and the
literate society of the Enlightenment.
