The 'graphosphere' is the dynamic space of visible words.
Graphospheres mutate, they are reconfigured with changes in
technology, in modes of production, in social structures, in
fashion and taste. The graphospheric environment can be public or
private, monumental or ephemeral. This book explores a new approach
to the study of writing, with a focus on Russia during its 'long
early modernity' from the late fifteenth century to the early
nineteenth century. Taking an inclusive approach, it charts
unmapped territory, uncovers sources that have almost entirely
escaped attention and therefore provides, in the first instance, a
unique reference guide to cultures of writing in Russia over four
hundred years. Besides generating fresh insights into distinctive
features of Russian culture, this outward-looking and accessible
book offers a pioneering case study for the wider comparative
exploration of the significance of technologies of the word.
