| Eisenstein, Elizabeth L.. The Printing Revolution in Early Modern Europe.
Cambridge Univ. Press .
|
| |
Abridged and highly readable version of her 1979 monumental study, The Printing Press as an Agent of Change. Details complex shifts from scribal to print culture; attributes the political, religious, and cultural tensions and developments of the early modern period to the advent of print, while placing it, rightly, within proper historical contexts. |
