Publishers, Censors and Collectors in the European Book Trade, 1650–1750: Library of the Written Word / Library of the Written Word - The Handpress World, cartea 126

Editat de Ann-Marie Hansen, Arthur der Weduwen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 mai 2024
This edited volume explores the development of the European book world between 1650 and 1750, concentrating on changes in publishing strategies, practices of censorship, the circulation of second-hand books and the building of libraries. Its essays discuss this critical, but much neglected period of print history through case studies from Spain, Italy, France, the Holy Roman Empire, Britain and the Netherlands.

Ranging from the posthumous publication of Galileo to the regulation of the book auction market, this volume demonstrates that the century between 1650 and 1750 was a transformative period for the history of the printed book.
