This book examines four seventeenth- and eighteenth-century
writers concerned with the ways in which the commercial print trade
was transforming traditional models of literary authority and
immortality. While all were excited by the memorial potential of
the printed book, they also betray a profound anxiety about how the
new conditions of authorship would effect the transmission of
cultural memory, and their ability to participate in and even
control that process. This study contributes to the current
pursuit--in both literary studies and the social sciences--of
histories of memory in Western culture, employing current
scholarship from the social and natural sciences to delineate the
nature of modern memory.
