The Oxford Illustrated History of the Book
Raven, James (ed.)
In 14 original essays, The Oxford Illustrated History of the Book
reveals the history of books in all their various forms, from the
ancient world to the digital present. Leading international scholars
offer an original and richly illustrated narrative that is global in
scope. The history of the book is the history of millions of written,
printed, and illustrated texts, their manufacture, distribution, and
reception.
Here are different types of production, from clay
tablets to scrolls, from inscribed codices to printed books, pamphlets,
magazines, and newspapers, from written parchment to digital texts. The
history of the book is a history of different methods of circulation and
dissemination, all dependent on innovations in transport, from coastal
and transoceanicshipping to roads, trains, planes and the internet. It
is a history of different modes of reading and reception, from learned
debate and individual study to public instruction and entertainment.
It is a history of manufacture, craftsmanship, dissemination, reading
and debate. Yet the history of books is not simply a question of
material form, nor indeed of the history of reading and reception. The
larger question is of the effect of textual production, distribution and
reception - of how books themselves made history.
To this end,
each chapter of this volume, succinctly bounded by period and geography,
offers incisive and stimulating insights into the relationship between
books and the story of their times.
