An intelligently constructed volume; a fine collection that is both readable and enjoyable. Professor Aileen Douglas, School of English, Trinity College Dublin 'The general editors of the series... hope that these publications will further promote further innovative and an interdisciplinary approach to global eighteenth-century studies... Their aim has certainly been achieved in Pen, Print and Communication, a well-produced, enlightening, and attractively illustrated volume.' Rory T Cornish, Journal of British Studies 'Highly recommended as an introduction to the important topic of the rich and complex roles of handwriting and print in the social and cultural melting-pot of the eighteenth century.' John Hinks, Midland History
