Chicago University of Chicago press 2013. Paperback, 303pp., ills. in b/w., 23x15cm., new. ISBN 9780226103518. At the turn of the nineteenth century, publishing houses in London, New York, Paris, Stuttgart, and Berlin produced books in ever greater numbers. But it was not just the advent of mass printing that created the era's bookish culture. According to Andrew Piper, romantic writing and writers played a crucial role in adjusting readers to this overflowing literary environment - learning how to use and to want books was importantly a product of the symbolic operations contained within books. Examining novels, critical editions, gift books, translations, and illustrated volumes, as well as the communities who made them, Dreaming in Books tells a wide-ranging story of the book's identity at the turn of the nineteenth century. In so doing, it shows how many of the most pressing modern communicative concerns are not unique to the digital age but emerged with a particular sense of urgency during the bookish upheavals of the romantic era. In revisiting the book's rise through the prism of romantic literature, Piper aims to revise our assumptions about romanticism, the medium of the printed book, and, ultimately, the future of the book in our so-called digital age., Chicago University of Chicago press 2013<
