Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a broad and detailed look at many pre-17th century literary practices, including diaries and memoirs, that were in common use to document personal and public events in ages when newspapers and magazines did not exist. The author shares entertaining anecdotes and provides a useful historical context for the reader. Diaries were an important means of recording day-to-day events and thoughts, many of which were not intended for public consumption. Learned men of the time used diaries for contemplative reflection on their work and lives. The author also discusses the work of censors during the time period, who were tasked with ensuring citizens did not read anything that might challenge the dominant ideology of the time period. This often included licensing of books by state-appointed officials and even burning books with dangerous ideas. The author stresses that while the press is now free from this oversight, there are still many forces that can prevent ideas from being published or heard. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282600358_0
