The essays draw on an array of documentary evidence-from library catalogs, prefaces, title pages and dedications, marginalia, commonplace books, and letters to ink, paper, and bindings-to explore individual reading habits and experiences in a period of religious dissent, political instability, and cultural transformation. Chapters in the volume cover oral, scribal, and print cultures, examining the emergence of the "public spheres" of reading practices. Contributors, who include Christopher Grose, Ann Hughes, David Scott Kastan, Kathleen Lynch, William Sherman, and Peter Stallybrass, investigate interactions among publishers, texts, authors, and audience. They discuss the continuity of the written word and habits of mind in the world of print, the formation and differentiation of readerships, and the increasing influence of public opinion. The work demonstrates that early modern publications appeared in a wide variety of forms-from periodical literature to polemical pamphlets-and reflected the radical transformations occurring at the time in the dissemination of knowledge through the written word. These forms were far more ephemeral, and far more widely available, than modern stereotypes of writing from this period suggest. 606 $aBooks and reading$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aBooks and reading$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aLiterature and society$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aLiterature and society$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aBook industries and trade$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aBook industries and trade$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y16th century 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y17th century 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aHistory. 610 $aLibrary Science and Publishing. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMedieval and Renaissance Studies. 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xHistory 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xHistory 676 $a028/.9/0942 701 $aAndersen$b Jennifer Lotte$01636080 701 $aSauer$b Elizabeth$f1964-$01610103 701 $aOrgel$b Stephen$0201314 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817909903321 996 $aBooks and readers in early modern England$93977179 997 $aUNINA
