John Day (1522-1584) is generally acknowledged to be the foremost English printer of the latter sixteenth-century. Yet despite his legacy, this book is the first full-length study to investigate Day's life and legacy. The study sets Day in the context of the sixteenth-century printing industry, examines his disputed origins and establishment as a London printer and discusses his career together with the most significant works he printed.
