The Colonial Book in the Atlantic World carries the interrelated
stories of publishing, writing, and reading from the beginning of
the colonial period in America up to 1790. Three major themes run
through the volume: the persisting connections between the book
trade in the Old World and the New, evidenced in modes of
intellectual and cultural exchange and the dominance of imported,
chiefly English books; the gradual emergence of a competitive book
trade in which newspapers were the largest form of production; and
the institution of a ""culture of the Word,"" organized around an
essentially theological understanding of print, authorship, and
reading, complemented by other frameworks of meaning that included
the culture of republicanism. ""The Colonial Book in the Atlantic
World"" also traces the histories of literary and learned culture,
censorship and ""freedom of the press,"" and literacy and orality.
