Between the end of the Middle Ages and the eighteenth century, what
methods were used to monitor and control the increasing number of
texts--from the early handwritten books to the later, printed
volumes--that were being put into circulation?
In "The Order of Books," Chartier examines the different systems
required to regulate the world of writing through the centuries,
from the registration of titles to the classification of works. The
modern world has, he argues, directly inherited the products of
this labor: the basic principle of referring to texts, the dream of
a universal library, real or imaginary, containing all the works
ever written, and the emergence of a new definition of the book
leading to some of the innovations that transformed the
relationship of the reader to the text.
"The Order of Books" will be welcomed by students and researchers
of cultural history, and the history of reading in particular.
