Studies in the culture and history of the book are a burgeoning academic specialty. Intriguing, rigorous, and vital, they are nevertheless rooted within three major academic disciplines – history, literary studies, and bibliography – that focus respectively upon the book as a cultural transaction, a literary text, and a material artefact. Old Books and New Histories serves as a guide to this rich but sometimes confusing territory, explaining how different scholarly approaches to what may appear to be the same entity can lead to divergent questions and contradictory answers. Rather than introduce the events and turning points in the history of book culture, or debates among its theorists, Leslie Howsam uses an array of books and articles to offer an orientation to the field in terms of disciplinary boundaries and interdisciplinary tensions. Howsam’s analysis maps studies of book and print culture onto the disciplinary structure of the North American and European academic world.
Old Books and New Histories is also an engaged statement of the historical perspective of the book. In the final analysis, the lesson of studies in book and print culture is that texts change, books are mutable, and readers ultimately make of books what they need.

書籍史，或者the history of the book，或者l'histoire du livre，這些名稱本身就包含了很多含混、籠統又微妙的概念與關係。這本書不是對書籍歷史的介紹，而是對書籍史這個研究範疇的探討。但是牠又不是對範疇進行解釋，而是對圍繞研究範疇展開的各項研究的再檢討。 作者認爲書...
