Pirating & Publishing. The Book Trade in the Age of Enlightenment.

SKU: 17433

The 18th century expansion of more affordable books brought about, first, a revolution in thought, and then a revolution in deed. Darnton researched the book industry in France and the pirating it engendered across Europe to enlighten us on the industry. Without literary piracy, would there have been an Enlightenment?
