Explores printing conventions in the eighteenth century and the gradual tendency to abandon the use of capital letters, italics, and small capitals in English books, heralding the advent of a cleaner, and smoother, printed page. It studies a range of texts and the changing roles of authors, booksellers, printers, and the reading public.
