Multilingual Print in Early Modern Europe

丛编:

This volume provides the first book historical exploration of multilingual print culture in early modern Europe, examining multilingual editions, collections and corpuses to illuminate this fascinating and understudied aspect of the early modern book world. Its contributors examine multilingual print in the realms of education and language learning, scholarship and university culture, drama, official print and news, offering nine case studies of multilingual print across the continent and three comparative surveys. What emerges is a picture of multilingual print culture which was thoroughly integrated into early modern society as well as being a defining characteristic of the early modern book trade.
