Managing readers
printed marginalia in English Renaissance books
by William W. E. Slights
"Printed Marginalia did more than any other material feature of book production in the period 1540-1700 to shape the experience of reading. Managing Readers explores the fascinating interchange between text and margin, authorship and readership, in early modern England.".
"The recent revolution in the protocols of reading caused by the advent of the computer has forced to the top of the scholarly agenda questions about book-based knowledge in our global culture. As a result, the history of the book and the history of reading have become hotly contested areas of cultural and literary studies.
Managing Readers considers over-looked evidence of the ways in which early modern readers were instructed to process information, to contest opinions, and to make themselves into fully responsive consumers of texts."--BOOK JACKET.
