He examines pictorial title-pages in the context of the History of the Book for the first time. The first part of <em>The Mind of the Book</em> explores the forerunner of the frontispiece in late antiquity; the use of frames and borders in title-pages; portraits; printers devices; emblematic title-pages of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, especially attending to explanatory verses and arcane features such as chronograms; title-pages as memory prompts; and eighteenth and nineteenth-century title-pages, tracing the rejection of emblematic and symbolic features and the introduction of unadorned, unpictorial, title-pages. The second part of the book presents illustrations of sixteen significant title-pages with commentaries, ranging from Chaucers <em>Works</em> in 1532 through Bacons <em>Instauratio Magna</em> in 1620, Dickens <em>The Mystery of Edwin Drood</em> in 1870, and arriving back at Chaucer with Edward Burnes-Joness illustrated title-page for the <em>Works</em> of 1896.</p>...3316043The Mind of the Book540569https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-mind-of-the-book-9780191027437/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3395139/b8b7d186-f7bc-4acf-962e-41eee3791ea2.jpg?v=638385313113300000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20179780191027437_W3siaWQiOiI5YThiMzUwNS02OTExLTRiNjEtODA0Yi1iNTMzZWRhNTVjNTkiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjU2OSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjI5LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjU0MCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDgtMTJUMTI6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780191027437_<p>Alastair Fowler presents a fascinating study of title-pages printed in England from the early modern period to the nineteenth century.
