Description

Originally published in 1964 this volume continues the studies of the history of libraries and incorporates material included in The Origins of the English Library with some additional material. It was published at a time when there was a marked revival of interest in the historical background of libraries and reading. The book examines the social and intellectual background against which libraries have prospered and the roots in both classical and medieval periods from which they came. This book will be of interest to historians, librarians and educationalists. Review ‘…an absorbing account that rightly deals in detail with bookmaking as well as libraries, and with readers as well as librarians and bibliographers….vast mass of fascinating detail charmingly presented by this learned and ably written study.’ Times Educational Supplement ‘…wide-ranging, stimulating…’ H. D. Ziman, The Daily Telegraph ‘…as readable as it is scholarly…’ School Librarian. About the Author Raymond Irwin directed the University College London School of Library, Archive and Information Studies from 1945 until 1969.
