Explores early English culture, from William Cazton's (c. 1421-1492) introduction of the press, through questions of audience, translation, politics, and genre, to the modern fascination with Caxton's books.

Industry Reviews

"This is a significant contribution to the history of the book. It examines the reified idea of the separation between the medieval and early modern period in a sophisticated and illuminating way. The essays engage the problematics of periodization while also interrogating the twin notions that print somehow mystically transformed the Middle Ages into modernity and that the fifteenth century is merely transitional, and, thus, unconnected with modernity." —Thomas Prendergast, The College of Wooster
