The consumption of books is closely intertwined with the material
conditions of their production. The Tudor period saw both
revolutionary progress in printing technology and the survival of
traditional forms of communication from the manuscript era.
Offering a comprehensive account of Tudor book culture, these
essays by experts in early book history consider the formative
years of English printing; book format, marketing, and the
reception of books; print, politics, and patronage; and connections
between reading and religion. They challenge the conventional view
of the 1557 foundation of the Stationers' Company as an event that
marks a shift between older and newer modes of book production,
sale, and reading. Both continuity and change led to the gradual
development of late medieval book culture into the genuinely early
modern book culture that emerged by the death of Queen Elizabeth.
