This volume explores the life, and more importantly, the effect William Caxton had both on the development of printed books in England, and on the literature accepted as 'literature' by the reading public. Caxton printed a wide variety of texts, but his choices seem to reveal two related motives: a persistent effort to make various kinds of books available to an audience unlearned in Latin and an equally steady insistence that what is read be morally profitable.
