Recenzii

"Bound to Read is an enormously learned and yet always energetically written account of book collecting practices in early modern England. Making available to our view a material history of early modern books that later practices of text collecting and transmission ignored, or worse, obliterated, Knight brilliantly challenges a set of widely held and long-cherished assumptions about reading practices, about the literature we read, and about the literary histories we depend upon."-David Scott Kastan, Yale University "Bound to Read is meticulously researched, absolutely stuffed with new facts about fascinating old books, elegantly written, cogently argued, and a genuinely new contribution to the history of the book."-Alexandra Gillespie, University of Toronto
