520 _a"A Short History of English Printing, 1476-1898" by Henry R. Plomer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of printing in England from the introduction of the printing press by William Caxton until the end of the 19th century. It captures key events, notable figures, and technological advancements in the printing industry, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the evolution of English literature and printing practices. The beginning of this work lays the foundation for a discussion on the complexities and challenges of chronicling the history of English printing. It highlights the contributions of early printers like Caxton and his contemporaries, outlining their struggles and successes in establishing a vibrant print culture. The editor's preface introduces the significant groundwork laid by past bibliographers and asserts Plomer's expertise in uncovering lesser-known facts, particularly about the later periods of printing history. This introduction sets the stage for deeper exploration into the individual printers, their works, and the overall impact of print on English society and culture.
