This is the first book to demonstrate how mnemotechnic cultural
commonplaces can be used to account for the look, style, and
authorized content of some of the most influential books produced
in early modern Britain. In his hybrid role as stationer,
publisher, entrepreneur, and author, John Day, master printer of
England’s Reformation, produced the premier navigation handbook,
state-approved catechism and metrical psalms, Book of Martyrs,
England’s first printed emblem book, and Queen Elizabeth’s
Prayer Book. By virtue of finely honed book trade skills, dogged
commitment to evangelical nation-building, and astute business
acumen (including going after those who infringed his privileges),
Day mobilized the typographical imaginary to establish what amounts
to—and still remains—a potent and viable Protestant Memory Art.
