The Perils of Print Culture: Book, Print and Publishing History in Theory and Practice cover

This collection of essays illustrates various pressures and concerns—both practical and theoretical—related to the study of print culture. Procedural difficulties range from doubts about the reliability of digitized resources to concerns with the limiting parameters of 'national' book history.

“This volume is forward-facing in its assessment of various ‘perils’ in print culture … .  The volume is a good starting point for students of book history and print culture. Equally, it is useful for established scholars who wish to remind themselves of the sorts of topical questions being asked in this field of enquiry.” (Natalie C. J. Aldred, SHARP News, sharpweb.org, August, 2016)
