Sommario/riassunto

Trained as a printer when still a boy, and thrilled throughout his life by the automation of printing and the headlong expansion of American publishing, Mark Twain wrote about the consequences of this revolution for culture and for personal identity. Printer's Devil is the first book to explore these themes in some of Mark Twain's best-known literary works, and in his most daring speculations-on American society, the modern condition, and the nature of the self. Playfully and anxiously, Mark Twain often thought about typeset words and published images as powerful forces-for political and moral change, personal riches and ruin, and epistemological turmoil. In his later years, Mark Twain wrote about the printing press as a center of metaphysical power, a force that could alter the fabric of reality. Studying these themes in Mark Twain's writings, Bruce Michelson also provides a fascinating overview of technological changes that transformed the American printing and publishing industries during Twain's lifetime,



changes that opened new possibilities for content, for speed of production, for the size and diversity of a potential audience, and for international fame. The story of Mark Twain's life and art, amid this media revolution, is a story with powerful implications for our own time, as we ride another wave of radical change: for printed texts, authors, truth, and consciousness.

Sommario/riassunto

Die Zeit der Reformation ist immer noch eines der wichtigsten Themen geschichtswissenschaftlicher Lehre und Forschung. Olaf Mörke vermittelt einen straffen Überblick über die ereignisgeschichtlichen und strukturellen Elemente des Reformationsprozesses in Deutschland bis 1555 und macht dabei deutlich, wie wichtig die Verklammerung theologie- und geistesgeschichtlicher, politik- und sozialgeschichtlicher Impulse ist. In seinem Forschungsüberblick



entfaltet Mörke die wesentlichen Entwicklungen der Reformationsgeschichtsforschung von Ranke bis in die Gegenwart. Der bibliographische Teil ist für alle Studierenden ein wichiges Hilfsmittel; er führt an die bedeutendsten "Klassiker" und die erkenntnisleitenden Werke der jüngeren Reformationsforschung heran. Die überarbeitete und aktualisierte dritte Auflage erscheint pünktlich zum Reformationsjubiläum. Ein ausführlicher Nachtrag zum Forschungsteil und die ergänzte Bibliographie greifen die zentralen Entwicklungen seit der ersten Auflage 2005 auf und bringen Studierende so auf den aktuellen Stand der Reformationsgeschichtsforschung.

On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, Olaf Mörke has put together a new edition of his highly praised textbook on one of the most important themes in German history. The volume has been updated while keeping its proven three-part organization into presentation, research, and bibliography. A supplement to the research section and bibliography presents research developments and trends since the previous edition.
