Abstract

This essay situates the collection in the ongoing critique of the overly broad concept of ‘print culture’. It argues that print agency must be reconceived beyond the individual, within larger social, political, technological, and economic frameworks. Additionally, an examination of regional print reveals new figurations of ‘place’, grounded in the material facts of geography, but also a discursive construction. Understanding the regional as part of a network of places and ideas highlights how the smallest locale is implicated in global flows of power. Finally, the Afterword concludes with ideas for future study.

Vorheriges Kapitel A New Type: Sans Serif Typography and Midlands Regional Identity

For an overview of the Eisenstein critique, see McDowell (2010, 232–233).

She also insisted that she did in fact recognize personal agency, but it is not the purpose of this chapter to adjudicate Eisenstein’s and John’s competing claims.

For definitions of intermediality, see Bruhn (2016) and Mattes (2018).

For an overview of new research, see King (2020). Other work focusing on the intersections of scribal publication and print includes Marotti (1995), Ezell (2003), Schellenberg (2016), King (2018), and Levy (2020).

Ironically, Johns advocates narrowing the focus on print culture away from Eisenstein’s large canvas of Europe to London—a place that, as the introduction to this collection explains, has since come to dominate studies of British print culture.

Their introduction offers a thorough and useful critique of this model, yet their collection differs considerably from this one in its global reach (with many essays on North America), temporal focus on the eighteenth century and later, and increased consideration of the consumption of texts. It also preserves the terms ‘province’ and ‘provincial’.

The toppling of the statue of Edward Colston in Bristol in 2020 is especially emblematic.

These lyrics are from an edition printed in London; it is possible that they were changed in the regional version collected by Elizabeth Davison.

For more on the ‘ambivalence between admiration for the conquering Romans, and patriotic pride in the barbarian Britons who resisted conquest’ (120) as well as the construction of the Saxons as ‘a chosen race’ (229) in antiquarian appreciation in eighteenth-century England, see Sweet (2004). For the ways in which early modern Greco-Roman rhetoric was freighted with ideas of ‘race as a cultural identity that takes shape positioned against the concept of the [...] barbarian world’ (172), see Smith (1998).

See also Marcus Wood (2000).

Rebecca E. Connor begins some of this work, but not in the context of regional print and agency. See Connor (2004).

See Emily Spunaugle’s case study of a self-published poem by Mary Morgan in Cambridgeshire (2020).

Kirstyn Leuner provides a good example of how a woman’s typographical agency was buttressed by her (London) printer and then erased by later technologies (2021).
