Publisher's full blue cloth gilt lettering on brown panel on spine gold endpapers. Illustrated with 15 plates and reproductions. Includes Notes on the Illustrations Select Bibliography References Chronological List of Caxton's Editions Caxton's Device as Evidence for Dating and detailed Index. "Caxton is one of the most famous yet least known of great Englishmen. The sources for his eventful life are unexpectedly rich and varied but have not as yet been adequately studied and interpreted. They range from the abundant contemporary documents in which his name and affairs are mentioned to the hundred surviving editions of books from his press with their texts types and woodcut illustrations and the revealing and entertaining prologues and epilogues which he wrote for them. An attractive and original but distinctively English character emerges a man of gusto piety and humour of business acumen and enduring political loyalties a gifted compulsive writer with a special delight in printing his own works an editor-publisher of Chaucer Gower Lydgate and Malory who enriched English literature by translating the bestsellers of France and Burgundy and the offstage companion as propagandist and protégé of Yorkist and Tudor royalty and nobility of the heroes and villains of Shakespeare's Henry VI and Richard III. In this biography I have described and discussed every known Caxton document and edition both intrinsically and in relation to the events persons and movements of contemporary history in which Caxton was so intimately involved. I have tried to rectify the disconcertingly many established and hitherto unsuspected errors of fact or inference in the work of William Blades E. G. Duff W.J. B. Crotch and others to bring new light and truth to all aspects of Caxton's career from an independent study of the primary sources and to write for the general reader the student and the specialist scholar alike. New conclusions are reached on Caxton's family connections his early activities as apprentice in London and cloth-trader at Bruges his appointment and fall as Governor of the English merchants in the Low Countries his diplomatic missions in the protracted trade negotiations of the 1460s his discovery of his vocation for writing and printing his relationships with his instructor Johann Veldener and Colard Mansion his associate and the foundation and chronology of his first press at Bruges.Caxton's hitherto unrealised function as a Yorkist and Tudor propagandist is explored in detail as a major key to his entire career as a printer. New information is given on the sources and authorship of Caxton texts previously misattributed and dates are supplied on new typographical and other evidence for many of Caxton's undated editions." .
