Lavishly illustrated with more than 130 full-color images of stunning rare books, this volume investigates a full range of issues regarding the dissemination of English language and culture through printed works, including the standardization of typography, grammar, and spelling; the appearance of popular literature; and the development of school grammars and dictionaries. Valerie Hotchkiss and Fred C. Robinson provide engaging descriptions of more than a hundred early English books drawn from the Rare Bookand Manuscript Library at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and the Elizabethan Club of Yale University. The study nearly mirrors the chronologicalcoverage of Pollard and Redgrave's famous Short-Title Catalogue (1475-1640), beginning with William Caxton, England's first printer, and ending with John Milton, the English language's most eloquent defender of the freedom of the press in his Areopagitica of 1644. William Shakespeare, neither a printer nor a writer much concerned with publishing his own plays, nonetheless deserves his central place in this study because Shakespeare imprints, and Renaissance drama in general, provide a fascinating window on the world of English printing in the period between Caxton and Milton. 606 $aPrinting$zEngland$xHistory$vExhibitions 606 $aEarly printed books$zEngland$y16th century$vBibliography$vExhibitions 606 $aEarly printed books$zEngland$y17th century$vBibliography$vExhibitions 606 $aIncunabula$zEngland$vBibliography$vExhibitions 607 $aEngland$xImprints$vExhibitions 615 0$aPrinting$xHistory 615 0$aEarly printed books 615 0$aEarly printed books 615 0$aIncunabula 676 $a686.2074/7471 700 $aHotchkiss$b Valerie R.$f1960-$01811555 701 $aRobinson$b Fred C$0157640 712 02$aGrolier Club. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910952295203321 996 $aEnglish in print from Caxton to Shakespeare to Milton$94363487 997 $aUNINA
