Books in Early Modern Norway de Gina Dahl

Books in Early Modern Norway: Library of the Written Word / Library of the Written Word - The Handpress World, cartea 17

Autor Gina Dahl
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 iul 2011
During recent decades much has been written about early modern book distribution, but until now Norway has been absent from the discussion. Drawing on book listings, this study seeks to fill this lacuna by exploring the market for books in early modern Norway. Its approach is multifaceted: consideration of the types of books accessed by different elements of Norwegian society is set alongside developments within the book market itself, such as the extended life of popular books, the gradual replacement of Latin by the vernacular and the rise in the eighteenth century in the number of books available on the market. The study demonstrates the internationality of the Norwegian book market while acknowledging specific patterns that determine its Norwegian character.

Notă biografică

Gina Dahl, Dr. Art. (2007) in History of religion, University of Bergen, is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Bergen. She has published extensively on book distribution in early modern Norway including Book Collections of Clerics in Norway, 1650–1750 (Brill, 2010).

Recenzii

“As a first general and comprehensive survey of what types of books were distributed and circulated in Norway in the early modern period, this book is a highly welcome research contribution to the scarcely covered field of book history in Norway and serves as a gateway into the vast topics within a research field that has yet to be studied in a Norwegian context. Internationally, it provides scholars with material for comparison, while on a national level it must be considered as a reference work.”
Ane Ohrvik, University of Oslo. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 66, No. 2 (Summer 2013) , pp. 707-709.
