- This 120,000-word monograph is the result of ten years of research but builds on investigative work conducted over Raven’s entire career. Originating from Raven’s Panizzi Lectures at the British Library (2010), it pioneers a multi-layered creation of maps based on local taxation records and a wide range of inventory, architectural and pictorial archives to reconstruct the completely lost ‘bookscape’ of pre-modern London. The study invented the term ‘bookscape’, which has been since much used by others. It presents a far-reaching and critical history of the sites of publishing and allied production over three centuries of complex and fundamental transformation.
