Illuminating Letters: Typography and Literary Interpretation (Studies in Print Culture and the History of the Book) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

The selection and arrangement of type and other visual elements on a page are not invisible, silent, and deferential servants to the text, say US scholars of English, but convey meaning of their own. The seven essays explore the roles of printers and publishers in manipulating the meaning and reception of texts, and the efforts of authors to circumvent or subvert such mediation by directly controlling the typographic presentation. They assume no previous background in typography. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
