Ephemeral city explores the rapid rise of cheap print and how it
permeated Venetian urban culture in the Renaissance. It offers the
first view of one of the city's most productive and creative
industries from the bottom up and a new and unexpected vision of
Renaissance culture, characterised by the fluid mobility and
dynamic intermingling of texts, ideas, goods and people. Closely
intertwined with oral culture and often peddled in the streets,
cheap printed texts helped to open up new audiences for literature,
providing information and entertainment to a diverse public and
transforming the city into an epicentre of vernacular literature
and performance. Examining the ways in which the production and
dissemination of cheap print infiltrated Venice's urban environment
and changed the course of its cultural life, the book also traces
how local authorities responded by escalating censorship and
control over the course of the sixteenth century. Ephemeral city
will be of interest to scholars and students of early modern
European and Italian Renaissance culture and society and the
history of the book and communication. -- .
