The invention of printing in the 15th century transformed English society and the English language. As well as a catalogue of the rich collections of the universities of Illinois and Yale, this absorbing survey provides a succinct history of the early publishing industry, censorship, translation and the theatre. Over 100 colour illustrations include such monuments of English culture as Wynkyn de Worde's Chaucer, the Great Bible of 1539, the first quarto of Hamlet and Hollar's engraving of Old St Paul's.
