Rezensionen

"Francis Connor's detailed and well-researched monograph therefore charts the publication of literary folios from the private, elite coteries to the public, commercial sphere; through this progression, ideas of the book evolved and were negotiated in early modern England-indeed, the chapter divisions reflect this. ... Connor's monograph adds to the significant corpus of book-history research ... ." (Jocelyn Hargrave, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 68 (4), 2015)
