The first book-length presentation of Roger Chartier's work in English, this volume
provides a vivid example of the new directions of cultural history in France. These
essays probe the impact of printing on all social classes of the ancien regime and
reveal the surprising range of ways in which texts and pictures were used by audiences
with different levels of literacy. Professor Chartier demonstrates that those who
attempted to regulate behavior and thought on behalf of church or state, for example,
were well aware of the wide influence of the printed word. He finds fascinating evidence
of fundamental processes of social control in texts such as the guides to a good death
or the treatises on norms of civility, rules that originated at court but that were
eventually appropriated in various forms by society as a whole. Essays on the evolution
on the fete, on the cahiers de doleances of 1789, and on the early paperback genre
known as the Bibliotheque bleue complete the picture of what people read and why and
of what was published and what influenced the publishers. These essays offer a critical
reappraisal of the complex connections between the new culture of print and the oral
and ritual-oriented forms of traditional culture. The reader will discover essential
patterns of the cultural evolution of France from the sixteenth to the eighteenth
centuries. Roger Chartier is Director of Studies, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences
Sociales in Paris. Originally published in 1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses
the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print
books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions
preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly
increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published
by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905
