The Book World of Early Modern Europe

Anyone who has studied the history of the Reformation, the book and communication will have come across or been influenced by Andrew Pettegree's contributions to these fields. The essays in this Festschrift have been commissioned to cover the broad scope of Pettegree's areas of interest and expertise, and to reflect and build upon them. The pieces, written by forty-three scholars based at over thirty institutions, are organised around nine key themes, ranging from the intersections of religion and print to the history of book collecting, the periodical press and pioneering book historical research methodologies.

This second volume contains twenty-seven essays. Together with the first volume, 'Reformation, Religious Culture and Print in Early Modern Europe: Essays in Honour of Andrew Pettegree, Volume 1', it offers a comprehensive survey of the state of current scholarship on religion, printing and media change in early modern Europe.
