Opis: Books Without Borders 2 vols - R Fraser

This two-volume pack offers new approaches to the global circulation of print culture across five centuries, from Bulgaria to Brazil in volume one and focusing on Asia in volume two. It provocatively argues for the necessity of finding new methods and conceptual frameworks for the analysis of book history. It includes contributions from key scholars in the field, including Sydney Shep, the publisher James Currey, David Finkelstein, Priya Joshi and Harish Trivedi. The two complementary volumes cover three centuries of print culture in the colonial and postcolonial worlds, providing the most comprehensive approach yet to this burgeoning combination of fields.Where does the book belong? Does it enshrine the soul of a nation, or is it a means by which nations talk to one another, sharing ideas, technologies and texts? This two-volume set responds to these questions, using archive-based case studies of print culture from around the world.
