In Early Modern Europe the first readers of a book were not those
who bought it. They were the scribes who copied the author's or
translator's manuscript, the censors who licensed it, the publisher
who decided to put this title in his catalogue, the copy editor who
prepared the text for the press, divided it and added punctuation,
the typesetters who composed the pages of the book, and the proof
reader who corrected them. The author's hand cannot be separated
from the printers' mind. This book is devoted to the process of
publication of the works that framed their readers' representations
of the past or of the world. Linking cultural history, textual
criticism and bibliographical studies, dealing with canonical works
- like Cervantes' "Don Quixote" or Shakespeare's plays - as well as
lesser known texts, Roger Chartier identifies the fundamental
discontinuities that transformed the circulation of the written
word between the invention of printing and the definition, three
centuries later, of what we call 'literature'.
