Description
Cultural history on a grand scale, this immensely readable book?the summation of decades of study by one of the world’s great scholars of the book?is the story of writing from its very beginnings to its recent transformations through technology. Using as his center the role of printing in making the written way of thinking dominant, Martin examines the interactions of individuals and cultures to produce new forms of “writing” in the many senses of authorship, language rendition, and script.
