This book contributes significantly to book, image and media
studies from an interdisciplinary, comparative point of view. Its
broad perspective spans medieval manuscripts to e-readers.
Inventive methodology offers numerous insights into visual,
manuscript and print culture: material objects relate to meaning
and reading processes; images and texts are examined in varied
associations; the symbolic, representational and cultural agency of
books and prints is brought forward. An introduction substantiates
methods and approaches, ten chapters follow along media lines: from
manuscripts to prints, printed books, and e-readers. Eleven
contributors from six countries challenge the idea of a unified
field, revealing the role of books and prints in transformation and
circulation between varying cultural trends, 'high' and 'low'.
Mostly Europe-based, the collection offers book and print
professionals, academics and graduates, models for future research,
imaginatively combining material culture with archival data,
cultural and reading theories with historical patterns.
