This study comprises the proceedings of a conference held in St
Andrews in 1999 which gathered some of the most distinguished
historians of the French book. It presents the 16th-century book in
a new context and provides the first comprehensive view of this
absorbing field. Four major themes are reflected here: the
relationship between the manuscript tradition and the printed book;
an exploration of the variety of genres that emerged in the 16th
century and how they were used; a look at publishing and
book-selling strategies and networks, and the ways in which the
authorities tried to control these; and a discussion of the way in
which confessional literature diverged and converged. The range of
specialist knowledge embedded in this study will ensure its appeal
to specialists in French history, scholars of the book and of
16th-century French literature, and historians of religion.
This book presents and explores a challenging new approach in book
history. It offers a coherent volume of thirteen chapters in the
field of early modern book history covering a wide range of topics
and it is written by renowned scholars in the field. The rationale
and content of this volume will revitalize the theoretical and
methodological debate in book history. The book will be of interest
to scholars and students in the field of early modern book history
as well as in a range of other disciplines. It offers book
historians an innovative methodological approach on the life cycle
of books in and outside Europe. It is also highly relevant for
social-economic and cultural historians because of the focus on the
commercial, legal, spatial, material and social aspects of book
culture. Scholars that are interested in the history of science,
ideas and news will find several chapters dedicated to the
production, circulation and consumption of knowledge and news
media.
