Memory's Library
earliest edition we have, 2008 University of Chicago Press, 2011 368 pages
In Jennifer Summit's account, libraries are more than inert storehouses of written tradition, they are volatile spaces that actively shaped the meanings and uses of books, reading and the past. Considering the period between 1431 and 1631, she revises the history of the modern library by focusing on its origins in medieval England.
