Whilst each of the essays in and of itself offers new research, the volume taken as a whole is a substantial contribution to book, image, and media history. It deliberately disrupts the idea of a unified field, demonstrating how both books and prints (sometimes combined within the same volume) act as agents between cultures.?? Kate Flint, Provost Professor of Art History and English, University of Southern California, USA?Rather than ask the old questions,?what is a book? or?what is a print?, Stead and her collaborators want to know: what has been the use of this text-bearing object? What does it do? Applying those queries to all manner of media? made, found, used, and re-purposed? this new approach dissolves (and complicates) the distinction between the material and textual aspects of what we read, and encourages methodologies that cross the boundaries of discipline.?? Leslie Howsam, Emerita Distinguished University Professor, University of Windsor, Canada This book contributes significantly to book, image and media studies from an interdisciplinary, comparative point of view. Its broad perspective spans medieval manuscripts to e-readers. Inventive methodology offers numerous insights into visual, manuscript and print culture: material objects relate to meaning and reading processes; images and texts are examined in varied associations; the symbolic, representational and cultural agency of books and prints is brought forward. An introduction substantiates methods and approaches, ten chapters follow along media lines: from manuscripts to prints, printed books, and e-readers. Eleven contributors from six countries challenge the idea of a unified field, revealing the role of books and prints in transformation and circulation between varying cultural trends,?high? and?low?. Mostly Europe-based, the collection offers book and print professionals, academics and graduates, models for future research, imaginatively combining material culture with archival data, cultural and reading theories with historical patterns. 001358753 650_0 $$aLiterature. 001358753 650_0 $$aCivilization$$xHistory. 001358753 650_0 $$aBooks$$xHistory. 001358753 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001358753 7001_ $$aStead, Evanghelia,$$eeditor. 001358753 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319538310 001358753 830_0 $$aNew directions in book history. 001358753 852__ $$bebk 001358753 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-53832-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001358753 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1358753$$pGLOBAL_SET 001358753 980__ $$aBIB 001358753 980__ $$aEBOOK 001358753 982__ $$aEbook 001358753 983__ $$aOnline 001358753 994__ $$a92$$bISE
