Recenzii
'The Cambridge History of the Book in Britain is one of the great scholarly enterprises of our time … Far from being a series of good essays on interesting topics, taken as a whole this book is not merely the best history of the book in nineteenth-century Britain which we have. It is, in the present state of our knowledge, just about the best that could be written.' John Feather, The Rare Books Newsletter
'… this book is an indispensable acquisition for any general or humanities library …' Karen Attar, University of London
'It is impossible to do this splendid and rich volume justice in a review article. Twenty essays cover an immense range of topics, suggest links between one another, provide scrupulous detail and larger frameworks. Twenty-four contributors explore the nineteenth-century revolution in printing, publishing and book-selling, in chapters covering aspects as diverse as 'The illustration revolution', 'The serial revolution', 'Copyright', 'Distribution', 'Reading', 'Mass markets' … The volume's scope is immense and ambitious.' Annika Bautz, Journal of Theory and Criticism
