Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the life and work of William Caxton, credited with bringing the art of printing to England. It starts from Caxton's birth in Kent, describing his education and work as a prosperous London merchant. Journeys to the continent brought him into contact with the new printing technology, and the author suggests that he learned how to print from the Cologne printer Ulric Zel. In 1476, Caxton returned to England and set up his press in Westminster. The book provides a detailed look at each edition of the books he printed, the typefaces he used, and his relationships with his patrons, including the English court and the nobility. Through Caxton's introductions and prologues, the reader is given a glimpse into the world of the early printing industry. The book concludes by exploring Caxton's literary skills, particularly his translation of Le Recueil des Histoires de Troyes, which is considered one of the most important works of English literature.
