Its broad perspective spans medieval manuscripts to e-readers. Inventive methodology offers numerous insights into visual, manuscript and print culture: material objects relate to meaning and reading processes; images and texts are examined in varied associations; the symbolic, representational and cultural agency of books and prints is brought forward. An introduction substantiates methods and approaches, ten chapters follow along media lines: from manuscripts to prints, printed books, and e-readers. Eleven contributors from six countries challenge the idea of a unified field, revealing the role of books and prints in transformation and circulation between varying cultural trends, high and low . Mostly Europe-based, the collection offers book and print professionals, academics and graduates, models for future research, imaginatively combining material culture with archival data, cultural and reading theories with historical patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52915957170455,"sku":null,"price":14780.04,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9783319538327.jpg?v=1781587001","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/ur\/products\/new-directions-in-book-history-9783319538327","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
