Not Dead Things - The Dissemination of Popular Print in England and Wales, Italy, and the Low Countries, 1500-1820

This collection explores the surprising ways by which cheap print moved across Europe, focussing on Italy, the Netherlands and Britain. Looking at pedlars, commerce and communication, it presents a model of textual dissemination and the material and economic premises of European landscapes of print.
