challenges and directions. The book acknowledges its intellectual links with Roger Chartier’s L’ordre des livres, Michel Certeau’s L’invention du quotidian, as well as with Foucauldian notions of the archival. The concept of ‘material intertextuality’ refers both to reception theory and to classical discussions on the nature of Renaissance literary imitation, bringing together the early modern and the postmodern. The book also benefits from specific notions of Renaissance textuality, such as the ideas of ‘patchwork’ (Linda Woodbridge) or ‘framing’ (Mary T. Crane), as well as the recent work of William Sherman, Jennifer Summit, and Alexandra Gillespie. The author explains clearly and with great focus the relevance of his contribution in this context, and includes an equally lucid epilogue that helps the reader frame the relevance of his approach for possible avenues of future exploration. Bound to Read is an extremely well researched piece of scholarship, an outstanding contribution to the history of the book, and a model for future research in material cultures and in Renaissance Literature.
