| Summary | Annotation This volume brings together a selection of the papers presented at the 'Print Networks' conference at the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, in July 2011. Religious books - be they tracts, sermons, homilies, hymn books, or Bibles - were primarily used by all denominations to spread their version of Christianity, to attract people to their cause, and to retain the loyalty of supporters. But these publications are also credited with the survival of indigenous languages, and, naturally, the printers and distributors of these religious works were crucial to the process of spreading both religion and literacy among the population. The contributions to this book cover a wide gamut of religion and the book trade from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. |
