One might think typography would be a basic element in the construction of these theories, yet if only we would pay careful attention to detail, Joseph A. Dane argues, we would find something else entirely: that a careful consideration of typography serves not as a material support to prevailing theories of print but, rather, as a recalcitrant counter-voice to them. In Out of Sorts Dane continues his examination of the ways in which the grand narratives of book history mask what we might actually learn by looking at books themselves. He considers the differences between internal and external evidence for the nature of the type used by Gutenberg and the curious disconnection between the two, and he explores how descriptions of typesetting devices from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries have been projected back onto the fifteenth to make the earlier period not more accessible but less. In subsequent chapters, he considers topics that include the modern mythologies of so-called gothic typefaces, the presence of nontypographical elements in typographical form, and the assumptions that underlie the electronic editions of a medieval poem or the visual representation of typographical history in nineteenth-century studies of the subject. Is Dane one of the most original or most traditional of historians of print? In Out of Sorts he demonstrates that it may well be possible to be both things at once. 410 0$aMaterial texts. 606 $aBibliography$xMethodology 606 $aBibliography$xMethodology$xHistory 606 $aType and type-founding$xHistory 606 $aType and type-founding$xHistoriography 606 $aPrinting$xHistory 606 $aPrinting$xHistoriography 606 $aIncunabula$xBibliography$xMethodology 606 $aEarly printed books$vBibliography$xMethodology 606 $aBibliography, Critical 606 $aTransmission of texts 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBibliography$xMethodology. 615 0$aBibliography$xMethodology$xHistory. 615 0$aType and type-founding$xHistory. 615 0$aType and type-founding$xHistoriography. 615 0$aPrinting$xHistory. 615 0$aPrinting$xHistoriography. 615 0$aIncunabula$xBibliography$xMethodology. 615 0$aEarly printed books$xMethodology. 615 0$aBibliography, Critical. 615 0$aTransmission of texts. 676 $a002/.09 700 $aDane$b Joseph A$0923102 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464133503321 996 $aOut of sorts$92443240 997 $aUNINA
