Professor James Raven: ‘Bookscape’

In this book, Professor James Raven offers fresh perspectives on the early modern and eighteenth-century book trade in London. He uses a range of new illustrative and topographical evidence to reconstruct the communities of printers, publishers and booksellers, their working practices and the changes brought to different neighbourhoods. The book is an extension to his Panizzi lectures given at the British Library in 2010 (the Master will be giving the Panizzis in 2016). Lavishly illustrated with maps and prints and watercolour sketches, the book moves bibliographical history to new encounters with historical ideas of place, space and memory.
