Despite the importance of books and the written word in Chinese
society, the history of the book in China is a topic that has been
little explored. This pioneering volume of essays, written by
historians, art historians, and literary scholars, introduces the
major issues in the social and cultural history of the book in late
imperial China. Informed by many insights from the rich literature
on the history of the Western book, these essays investigate the
relationship between the manuscript and print culture; the
emergence of urban and rural publishing centers; the expanding
audience for books; the development of niche markets and
specialized publishing of fiction, drama, non-Han texts, and
genealogies; and more.
