This volume explores the challenges and possibilities of research into
the European dimensions of popular print culture. Popular print
culture has traditionally been studied with a national focus. Recent
research has revealed, however, that popular print culture has many
European dimensions and shared features. A group of specialists in the
field has started to explore the possibilities and challenges of
research on a wide, European scale. This volume contains the first
overview and analysis of the different approaches, methodologies and
sources that will stimulate and facilitate future comparative
research. This volume first addresses the benefits of a media-driven
approach, focussing on processes of content recycling, interactions
between text and image, processes of production and consumption. A
second perspective illuminates the distribution and markets for
popular print, discussing audiences, prices and collections. A third
dimension refers to the transnational dimensions of genres, stories,
and narratives. A last perspective unravels the communicative
strategies and dynamics behind European bestsellers. This book is a
source of inspiration for everyone who is interested in research into
transnational cultural exchange and in the fascinating history of
popular print culture in Europe.
