- Title
Renaissance Printing and Provincial Culture in Sixteenth-Century Rouen.
- Authors
Reid, Dylan
- Abstract
This article focuses on the renaissance printing and provincial culture in sixteenth-century Rouen, France. For much of the sixteenth century, Rouen was the second-largest city in France. Located on the Seine between Paris and the English Channel, Rouen was both an important administrative centre, as capital of the wealthy province of Normandy, and an important commercial and manufacturing centre, as the port that linked river traffic from Paris with the ocean-going traffic of the English Channel. The author says that this local culture, in particular Rouen's literary life, was of fundamental importance in shaping the development of printing in Rouen, and in this paper he will explore the way in which local culture and the local printing industry interacted and affected each other.
