Print Technology and Cultural Change in Early Modern Europe

Catalog description

This course is interdisciplinary: a methods course (in book history), a history course, and a literature course. The major cultural changes that took place in Europe between the end of the fifteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century are studied through direct and detailed examinations of printed objects from the Stanford collections. The course will be taught with John Mustain, the curator of early printed books at the Stanford Libraries.
