Author: Miranda Remnek 

From the Enlightenment to the Internet age, reading practices in Russia have been shaped by factors such as artistic and cultural trends, economics, and state scrutiny. The Space of the Book provides the most comprehensive overview to date of salient topics in Russian print culture, in a volume that promises to become the leading introduction to current research in the field.

This collection features illustrated essays by pre-eminent Russian historians, literature specialists, and innovative younger scholars on topics including the influence of commerce, diversifying readerships, education and rural libraries, reception theory, and censorship. Miranda Remnek begins each chapter with an introduction on digital applications, and she and her contributors skilfully connect multidisciplinary sources along a broad historical continuum. The Space of the Book will be a valuable resource as the study of Russian print culture takes on new directions in a digitized world.
