Beginning with one of the crucial technological breakthroughs of
Western history - the development of moveable type by Johann
Gutenberg - The History of the Book in the West 1455-1700 covers
the period that saw the growth and consolidation of the printed
book as a significant feature of Western European culture and
society. The volume collects together seventeen key articles,
written by leading scholars during the past five decades, that
together survey a wide range of topics, such as typography,
economics, regulation, bookselling, and reading practices. Books,
whether printed or in manuscript, played a major role in the
religious, political, and intellectual upheavals of the period, and
understanding how books were made, distributed, and encountered
provides valuable new insights into the history of Western Europe
in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries.
