By focusing on free print the volume offers perspectives in the cultural history of textual transmission from the early18th century to the mid20th century. Publishing in the sense of making the print public embraces the free and often unsolicited distribution of religious literature political propaganda and civic and personal gifts. The free print examined here includes giftbooks: advertisements and commemorations: the promotion of knowledge institutions and services: commercial and philanthropic lobbying: religious and missionary activity: and political propaganda both official and underground. Broad issues range from the consideration of press finances government intervention and private and institutional patronage to textual familiarity and social ritual. The approach is deliberately comparative. Ten established scholars of book and printing history who look at very different regions and periods test the nature of the alleged authority of print and the apparent value of the commercial tag through the study of print which arrives unbidden in the hands of its consumers. The chapters in this volume are based on papers first given at the Print for Free conference organized by the Cambridge Project for the Book Trust in September 1996.Data Publikacji: 2018-06-08
