Print culture is marked by an anxiety of reception that became much more pronounced with increasingly anonymous and unpredictable readerships in the sixteenth century. To allay this anxiety, authors, as well as editors and printers, turned to self-fashioning in order to sell not only their books but also particular ways of reading. They advertised correct modes of reading as transformative experiences offered by selfless authors that would help the actual reader attain the image of the ideal reader held up by the text and paratext. Thus, authorial personae were constructed around the self-fashioning offered to readers, creating an interdependent relationship that anticipated modern advertising. -- Back cover. 410 0$aEarly modern exchange. 606 $aFrench literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00934688 606 $aAdvertising$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00797511 606 $aAdvertising in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00797863 606 $aAdvertising in literature 606 $aFrench literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAdvertising$zFrance$xHistory$y16th century 607 $aFrance$2fast 608 $aHistory. 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFrench literature. 615 0$aAdvertising. 615 0$aAdvertising in literature. 615 0$aAdvertising in literature. 615 0$aFrench literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAdvertising$xHistory 676 $a659.10944 700 $aFrancis$b Scott$0901622 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910494619203321 996 $aAdvertising the Self in Renaissance France$92015225 997 $aUNINA
