Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information The archive of the Stationers' Company is widely regarded as one of the most important sources for studying the history of the book, publishing and copyright. The Company was instrumental in the development of the printed book in early modern England, exerting enormous power over the publishing industry as it developed. This resource provides essential primary sources for students and scholars of English literature, Renaissance theatre, and print culture from the early modern period to the twentieth century. The arrival of printing caused a social and cultural revolution in late 15th century Britain. The Stationers' Company was granted immense power by Royal Charter to control this nascent industry, requiring all works to be licensed and entered into a "Book of Copies", in order to censor seditious and heretical works. The Registers quickly became used by publishers and printers to assert their exclusive rights over their publications, developing the concept of "copyright". FEATURING HANDWRITTEN TEXT RECOGNITION (HTR) FOR FULL-TEXT SEARCHING: The Entry Book of Copies, the single most comprehensive record of all printed works registered in England until the mid-nineteenth century, is now enhanced with powerful Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) search functionality.
