Description

Text Technologies: A comprehensive history of communication from ancient times to the present day. This book explores the material history of communication, examining what constitutes a text, its purposes, function, and social significance. Through clear explanations, case studies, and illustrated examples, Elaine Treharne and Claude Willan offer a nuanced overview of how humans convey meaning. The field of text technologies encompasses all textual records throughout human history, from early forms of communication to the present day. The book provides a framework for understanding the production, form, materiality, and reception of texts, and its significance in interpreting culture, history, and society. This coursebook is suitable for pedagogical or research activities in text technologies, the history of the book, the history of information, and digitally-based work in the humanities.
