Sneaking Into Print: Mouvance and Narrative Culture in Spain C. 1500

Sneaking into Print: Mouvance and Narrative Culture in Spain c. 1500 explores the impact of early printing on narrative literature in Spain, revealing how new technology enabled older texts and translations to circulate alongside newly written works. The book argues that this convergence gave rise to a distinct "narrative culture."

Through an in-depth study of various narrative subgenres, each chapter analyses multiple representative texts, integrating historical bibliography, material book features, and literary analysis. By examining these works as physical artifacts and narrative constructs, the book sheds light on their broader implications for narrative theory.

Richly researched and thought-provoking, Sneaking into Print offers fresh perspectives on the intersections of literature, materiality, and the early print marketplace.
