Print Networks Annual Conference: From ‘Provincial’ to ‘Regional’

The shift in book history studies in the past forty years is our theme. In the 1980s the model of ‘centre and periphery’ was used as a spatial metaphor for the relationship between established centres of book production and their wider markets. It was the organizing principle behind the construction of the British Book Trade Index [BBTI] and the series of annual seminars on the provincial trade which became Print Networks. In the 2000s the focus of research shifted to a ‘networks’ model, highlighting the connections of people, trade and distribution within and across regions and nations.

Registration is £95.00 for three days and includes all talks, the BBTI workshop refreshments, lunches, and a wine reception. Booking will open soon.
