The mass production and dissemination of printed materials were
unparalleled in England during the 1640s and 50s. While theatrical
performance traditionally defined literary culture, print steadily
gained ground, becoming more prevalent and enabling the formation
of various networks of writers, readers, and consumers of books. In
conjunction with an evolving print culture, seventeenth-century
England experienced a rise of political instability and religious
dissent, the closing of the theatres, and the emergence of a middle
class. Elizabeth Sauer examines how this played out in the nation's
book and print industry with an emphasis on performative writings,
their materiality, reception, and their extra-judicial function.
'Paper-contestations' and Textual Communities in England challenges
traditional readings of literary history, offers new insights into
drama and its transgression of boundaries, and proposes a fresh
approach to the politics of consensus and contestation that
animated seventeenth-century culture and that distinguishes current
scholarly debates about this period.
