crl-10775	Lehmann-Haupt, Hellmut	Recent Publications (Book Review)	1953-06-30	3	.pdf	application/pdf	2396	125	65	The strength of this book lies in the newness of the author's approach, his inquisitiveness about the reasons why printed books came into being in England ; what caused them to be written in the first place; how they got selected for publication; what the role of the patron was in this proc- ess; what the author got out of it; what social classes the readers of various types of printed books belonged to and what their education was; whether Church and State hindered or encouraged the booktrade and how and why; and many other related major and minor questions. It is proba- ble that the student of English literature and the bibliographer specializing in English books and printing will hardly miss references to the continental scene.	cache/crl-10775.pdf	txt/crl-10775.txt
