The Chronology and Calendar of Documents relating to the London
Book Trade 1641-1700 presents abstracts of documents relating to
the book trade and book production between 1641 and 1700. It brings
together in one sequence edited abstracts of entries referring to
named books, printers, and booksellers selected from the
manuscripts of the Stationers' Company Court Books; all references
to printing, publishing, bookselling, and the book trade occurring
in major historical printed sources (Calendar of State Papers
Domestic; the Journals of the Houses of Lords and Commons; Reports
of the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts) ; and entries
for contemporary pamphlets. The labour records of the printing and
bookselling trades probably represent the fullest account of any
work force in early modern England and the printed products of the
trade survive in such great numbers that they enable us to examine
them for evidence not only of who made and sold them but also of
how they were made. These volumes constitute a reference work of
importance not only for literature specialists, bibliographers, and
historians of book production but also for economic, social, and
political historians. Not only do they bring together records from
a variety of separate printed sources, thereby making explicit
their interconnections, but also they make accessible some less
well-known manuscript sources, notably from the Stationers' Company
archives. Most importantly the Chronology and Calendar extends the
earlier work of Arber, Greg, and Jackson on the earlier seventeenth
century. As a chronological sequence the volumes meet the need for
a preliminary narrative history of the trade in the later
seventeenth century; and the provision of title, name, and topic
indexes renders this an indispensable reference tool for research
into the social, political, and economic contexts of the book
trade, its personnel, and its printed output.
