Printing: An Account Of Its Invention And Of William Caxton, The First English Printer by David Marshall is a comprehensive historical account of the invention of printing and the life of William Caxton, who is widely regarded as the first English printer. The book covers the origins of printing in China and the spread of the technology to Europe, including the development of movable type and the printing press. It also explores the cultural impact of printing, including its role in the spread of knowledge, the rise of literacy, and the dissemination of religious and political ideas. The second half of the book focuses on the life and work of William Caxton, who established the first printing press in England in the 15th century. The author examines Caxton's role in the development of English literature, including his printing of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Malory's Morte d'Arthur. The book is well-researched and provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of printing and its impact on society and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
