    How were books in early modern England made, circulated, sold, stored, read, marked, altered, preserved, and destroyed? The Oxford Handbook of the History of the Book in Early Modern England provides a stimulating account of the very newest work in the field, and an exploration of how new thinking might develop.

    This article explores the production of Gospel harmonies at Little Gidding in the 1630s. By drawing on rarely examined archival letters, documents, and drafts contained in the Ferrar Papers at Magdalene College, Cambridge, the article examines the production processes behind the biblical harmonies, and in particular the cutting up of text and images and the remnant tatters and drafts left behind as the finished Gospel harmonies that have previous…

    Beginning with one particularly compelling Civil War manuscript – a collage of manuscript notes and printed pages torn from books, assembled by Sir John Gibson in Durham Castle in the 1650s – this article examines the circulation of texts in seventeenth-century England. In particular, it explores the malleability of early modern texts in both manuscript and print, in order to suggest that certain entrenched ideas about early modern print, manuscr…

    Adam SmythARTICLEThe Seventeenth Century2004Cited by: 3References: 1

    One discernable trend in early modern studies of the last decade has been a shift towards considerations of the reception of texts and, in particular, of readership. As part of this growing interest in consumption, several scholars have turned their attention to handwritten additions to printed books, considering moments when an early modern reader has altered a printed text or, more frequently, added a cross, a tick, a pointing hand, or, in the …
