Offering a new history of early modern literary precarity, this thesis will be both historically situated and inconversation with the uncertainties of today's cultural sector. Inspired by recent scholarship on the role of thecollaborative network as a 21st-century response to precarity in the arts, it will recover how early modernwriters, printers and publishers in the 16th-century built creative, innovative networks of support to mitigatethe volatility of their profession. It will also explore how the distinctive forms of collaboration pioneered in theearly modern print-house might speak to today's independent artists, musicians and writers.
