Product Description
Review
"It ranks easily among the most consequential works of recent French scholarship ... One can safely predict that the ever broadening implications of the work of Febvre and Martin will continue to occupy scholarly attention for many years to come." - Time Literary Supplement "It is one of the most exciting scholarly books ever written on printing... This book is serious work - marvellously rich and stimulating." - Hugh Trevor-Roper, The Sunday Times
Product Description
Books, and the printed word more generally, are aspects of modern life that are all too often taken for granted. Yet the emergence of the book was a process of immense historical importance and heralded the dawning of the epoch of modernity. In this much praised history of that process, Lucien Febvre and Henri-Jean Martin mesh together economic and technological history, sociology and anthropology, as well as the study of modes of consciousness, to root the development of the printed word in the changing social relations and ideological struggles of Western Europe.
