Opis

Amidst the other religious, political and technological changes in 17th-century England, the ready availability of printed books was the most significant sign of the disappearance of old ways of thinking. The ability to read granted new independence as the interactions between reader, text and author moved from the public forums of church and court to the privacy and solitude of the home.
