TRANSLATION AND THE MAKING OF  EARLY MODERN ENGLISH PRINT CULTURE

(1473-1660)

translationandprint

The history of English print starts with translation: the first printed book in English was Caxton's 1473 version of Raoul Lefèvre's romance, the Recueil des histoires de Troye. During the ensuing hundred and eighty years or so that ended with the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, translation continued to play an extremely important role in English society, in terms of both its share of the book market and its cultural and intellectual significance.
