Description
The Cambridge History of the Book in Britain presents a comprehensive collection of essays spanning over 150 years, from 1400 to 1557. During this period, manuscript culture gave way to an environment where printed books became the norm. This volume explores the transition and identifies patterns in how books were written, printed, bound, acquired, read, and passed through the hands of individuals, with a particular focus on imports and connections with the Continent. By examining these developments, readers can gain insight into the evolution of book culture during this pivotal time.
