This volume offers fifteen chapters written by leading specialists which explore the range of ways in which the book industry negotiated conflicts and controversies in the early modern European world.

The early modern European book world was confronted with many crises and controversies. Some conflicts were of such monumental scale that they wrought significant reconfigurations of the trade. Others were more quotidian in nature – evidence of the intensely competitive and at times predatory nature of the industry. How publishing negotiated and responded to the various crises, conflicts and disputes of the age is explored by the rich and varied interdisciplinary contributions in this volume. To succeed in the business of books, printers and publishers needed to seize the advantage in the often complex environments in which they operated. What was required was determination, resilience, and inventiveness, even in the most challenging of times.

Alexander S. Wilkinson, Ph.D. (2002), St Andrews, is Professor of Early Modern European History at University College Dublin. He has published widely on the book worlds of France and Spain, not least a bibliography of Iberian Books to 1650 (Brill, 2007/2010). Graeme J. Kemp, Ph.D. (2013), St Andrews, is Project Manager of the Universal Short Title Catalogue Project at the same university. He is a consultant for Proquest’s Early European Books.
