Recenzii

"This volume of essays is essential reading for anyone interested in the materiality of texts in their inception, production, transmission, and reception, offering timely interventions into a developing conversation about early modern material culture. A key strength of the book is its combined theoretical and practical thrust: case studies are contextualized and theorized, genuine questions and avenues for future study identified. The essays in this volume leave readers wanting more a good result and attest to the range and vitality of current scholarship focused on illuminating early modern texts and social practices among both established and emerging scholars." Jeanne Shami, SHARP News
