In his 1987 work Paratexts, the theorist Gerard Genette established
physical form as crucial to the production of meaning. Here,
experts in early modern book history, materiality, and rhetorical
culture present a series of compelling explorations of the
architecture of early modern books. The essays challenge and extend
Genette's taxonomy, exploring the paratext as both a material and a
conceptual category. Renaissance Paratexts takes a fresh look at
neglected sites, from imprints to endings, and from running titles
to printers' flowers. Contributors' accounts of the making and
circulation of books open up questions of the marking of gender,
the politics of translation, geographies of the text, and the
interplay between reading and seeing. As much a history of
misreading as of interpretation, the collection provides novel
perspectives on the technologies of reading, and exposes the
complexity of the playful, proliferating, and self-aware paratexts
of English Renaissance books."
