The Archiv fur Geschichte des Buchwesens contains academic articles and source editions, and covers all subjects connected with books and their history. On the long road from "author to reader," as Herbert G.

From 1890 to 1960, some of Anglo-America's most heated cultural contests over books, sex, and censorship were staged not at home, but abroad in the City of Light. Paris, with its extraordinary liberties of expression, became a special place for interrogating the margins of sexual culture and literary censorship, and a wide variety of English language "dirty books" circulated through loose expatriate publishing and distribution networks.

Preachers also turned to the printing press in unprecedented numbers to spread their messages.

Emily Michelson challenges the stereotype...
