Download or read book Blanks Print Space and Void in English Renaissance Literature written by Jonathan Sawday and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blanks, Print, Space, and Void in English Renaissance Literature is an inquiry into the empty spaces encountered not just on the pages of printed books in c.1500-1700, but in Renaissance culture more generally. The book argues that print culture in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries helped to foster the modern idea of the 'gap' (where words, texts, images, and ideas are constructed as missing, lost, withheld, fragmented, or perhaps never devised in the first place). It re-imagines how early modern people reacted not just to printed books and documents of many different kinds, but also how the very idea of emptiness or absence began to be fashioned in a way which still surrounds us. Jonathan Sawday leads the reader through the entire landscape of early modern print culture, discussing topics such as: space and silence; the exploration of the vacuum; the ways in which race and racial identity in early modern England were constructed by the language and technology of print; blackness and whiteness, together with lightness, darkness, and sightlessness; cartography and emptiness; the effect of typography on reading practices; the social spaces of the page; gendered surfaces; hierarchies of information; books of memory; pages constructed as waste or vacant; the genesis of blank forms and early modern bureaucracy; the political and devotional spaces of printed books; the impact of censorship; and the problem posed by texts which lack endings or conclusions. The book itself ends by dwelling on blank or empty pages as a sign of human mortality. Sawday pays close attention to the writings of many of the familiar figures in English Renaissance literary culture - Sidney, Shakespeare, Donne, Jonson, and Milton, for example - as well as introducing readers to a host of lesser-known figures. The book also discusses the work of numerous women writers from the period, including Aphra Behn, Ann Bradstreet, Margaret Cavendish, Lady Jane Gray, Lucy Hutchinson, Æmelia Lanyer, Isabella Whitney, and Lady Mary Wroth.

Download or read book A Brief History of Printing in England written by Frederick W. Hamilton and published by BEYOND BOOKS HUB. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A BRIEF HISTORY of PRINTING IN ENGLAND England was slow to take up printing and slow and backward in the development of it. It was 25 years after the invention of printing before any printing was done in England. It was many years after that before the work of the English printers could compare with that done on the continent. The reason for this is to be found in the conditions of the country itself. Although the two great universities had long been in existence, Oxford dating back to 1167 and Cambridge to 1209, England as a whole was a backward country. In culture and the refinements of civilization, as well as in many more practical things, England was not so far advanced as the rest of Europe nor was it to be so for many years to come. England at this time was an agricultural and grazing country. A colony of Flemings had been brought over to start the cloth industry. There was still, nevertheless, a large export of wool to Flanders, which was there woven and sent back as cloth. The English nobles lived largely on their estates, looking after their tenants, hunting for diversion, and doing a little fighting occasionally when life became otherwise unbearably uninteresting. They were not an educated class and the peasantry were profoundly ignorant. The cities which, as always, depended upon manufacture and commerce were just beginning to grow, with the exception of some of the seaport towns which were already prosperous and wealthy. Not only was this general condition true, but there were special conditions which rendered the middle of the fifteenth century unfavorable to culture and to the introduction of a new invention auxiliary to culture. In 1450 England was shaken and horrified by the bloody insurrection of peasants, with its attendant outrages, known as Jack Cade’s Revolt. Scarcely had order been restored when a disputed succession to the crown plunged the country into the bloody civil war between the adherents of the Houses of York and Lancaster, known as the Wars of the Roses. This period of civil strife lasted for thirty years and affected the general welfare of England very seriously. It was especially marked by mortality among the noblest families in the realm, many of which were actually exterminated. Some time within this bloody half-century the art of printing was introduced into England. There is in existence a book printed in Oxford and dated on the title page 1468. Upon the existence of this book, and upon a somewhat doubtful legend, has been built a claim that English printing originated in Oxford. This claim, however, has practically ceased to be maintained. The legend appears to be baseless, and it has been generally concluded that the date is a misprint and that it should be 1478, an X having been dropped in writing the Roman date, a not uncommon error in publications of this period. Historians have now generally agreed that the introduction of printing in England is due to William Caxton, one of the most interesting figures in the whole annals of printing.

Download or read book A Specimen of Printing Types and Various Ornaments 1796 written by S. And C. Stephenson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Specimen of Printing Types and Various Ornaments, 1796: Reproduced Together With the Sale Catalogue of the British Letter-Foundry, 1797 The Specimen reproduced here is the last that was issued by the British Foundry. It displays all the types cut for it, and there is an additional specimen of 'cast ornaments' and 'engravings on wood' offered for sale, which reflect the grow ing taste for this kind of stock illustration. The copy of the specimen from which this facsimile has been made includes the sale catalogue for the foundry, which was announced for 27 November 1797, and this has been reprinted in the present publication. The British letter-foundry was the creation of John Bell, an aggressively enterprising independent publisher who was one of the first to take advantage of the decision in the legal case of Donaldson v. Beckett in 1774, by which the concept of perpetual copyright was ended in Great Britain, and the work of many dramatists and poets effectively entered the public domain. Bell's edition of the Poets of Great Britain complete from Chaucer to Churchill in 109 volumes and his British Theatre in 21 volumes both began to appear in 1776. The established London booksellers responded to this inva sion, as they saw it, of their literary property, with their own edition of The Works of the English Poets, to which Samuel Johnson was invited to write the biographical matter, and a committee was set up to commission engravings and to give directions about the paper and printing.
