First taking shape during the seventeenth century, the European
encyclopedia was an alphabetical book of knowledge. For the next
three centuries, printed encyclopedias in the European tradition
were an element of culture and peoples' lives, initially just among
Europe's educated elite but ultimately through much of the literate
world. Organized around themes such as genre, economics,
illustration, and publishing, The European Encyclopedia is the
first comprehensive survey of encyclopedias to be written in
English in more than fifty years. Engaging with printed
encyclopedias, now largely extinct and the object of nostalgia, as
well as the global phenomenon of Wikipedia, Jeff Loveland brings
together encyclopedias from multiple languages (notably English,
French, and German, amongst others). This book will be of interest
to anyone, from academics in the humanities to non-academic
readers, with an interest in encyclopedias and their history.
