This book brings together essays from scholars working on the first centuryof French print culture, with a particular focus on the networks formed byauthors, editors, translators and printers in the earliest years of print technology.The volume is structured around the themes of collection and translation.The first part of the book examines the gathering of sources, the creation ofanthologies and collections and the efforts of collectors to create a legacy.The second part deals with translation and the ways in which editors presenta text to a new audience, either in a different language, as part of a differentculture or through images that translate the text visually. Together, the essaysraise important questions about early modern French culture, revealing howtexts are the products both of the networks that create them and of those thatdistribute, read and interpret them after publication.Catherine Emerson worked at the University of Hull and Trinity CollegeDublin before becoming a lecturer in French at the National University ofIreland, Galway. Her research focuses on the literature of the fifteenth-centuryBurgundian court and its transmission in the era of print. She is interested inthe literature and culture of multilingual societies and has also published onBelgian cultural identities.
