| Abstract | "The Typographic Imaginary in Early Modern English Literature contributes to an understanding of how printing changed early modern English literary culture. Rachel Stenner discusses printers' manuals, William Caxton's paratexts, Robert Copland's dramatic dialogues, the prose fictions of William Baldwin, George Gascoigne and Thomas Nashe, and the courtly poetry of Edmund Spenser. This study argues that early modern English literature engages imaginatively with printing and generates a particular aesthetic: the typographic imaginary"-- Provided by publisher. |
