Reviews"Roger Chartier is doing some of the best writing today on the character of early modern European culture. Whether his subject is the literature of feasting or dying, of manners or rogues, every essay is a jewel. At last we have a fine English translation of the works of this outstanding practitioner of the French school of history." --Natalie Zemon Davis, Princeton University

SynopsisThe first book-length presentation of Roger Chartier's work in English, this volume provides a vivid example of the new directions of cultural history in France. These essays probe the impact of printing on all social classes of the ancien régime and reveal the surprising range of ways in which texts and pictures were used by audiences with different levels of literacy. Professor Chartier demonstrates that those who attempted to regulate behavior and thought on behalf of church or state, for example, were well aware of the wide influence of the printed word. He finds fascinating evidence of fundamental processes of social controls in texts such as the guides to a good death or the treatises on norms of civility, rules that originated at court but that were eventually appropriated in various forms by society as a whole. Essays on the evolution of the fête , on the cahiers de doléances of 1789, and on the early paperback genre known as the Bibliotheque bleue complete the picture of what people read and why and of what was published and what influenced the publishers. These essays offer a critical reappraisal of the complex connections between the new culture of print and the oral and ritual-oriented forms of traditional culture. The reader will discover essential patterns of the cultural evolution of France from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries., The first book-length presentation of Roger Chartier's work in English, this volume provides a vivid example of the new directions of cultural history in France.
