A Short History of English Printing, 1476-1898 is a book by Henry Robert Plomer. Contents: Caxton and his Contemporaries, John Day, Provincial Presses of the Sixteenth Century and many more.
Henry Robert Plomer was a distinguished bibliographer and historian of English printing whose scholarly contributions provided significant insights into the development of printing in England. Born in the late 19th century, Plomer brought meticulous research and a keen understanding of his subject to his works. His 'A Short History of English Printing, 1476-1898' stands as a testament to his comprehensive knowledge and attention to detail. In this seminal work, Plomer traces the evolution of the printing press in England from the time of William Caxton, who established the first printing press, through to the end of the 19th century. His approach combines a clear chronological framework with a nuanced appreciation of the technological advancements, social context, and the personalities that shaped the printing industry. This work is considered essential reading for anyone studying the history of books, printing, and publishing. Not merely content to chart historical developments, Plomer delved into the broader cultural implications of print and the dissemination of knowledge. His literary style is characterized by clarity and conciseness, making complex subject matter accessible to both scholarly and general audiences. Plomer's contributions to bibliographic scholarship and his role in documenting the history of English printing have made his works invaluable resources in the field of book history.
