Abstract
The standard history of the English book trade in America, The Colonial Book in the Atlantic World, has provided scholars with a sound foundation for the exploration of dominant-culture communications circuits and their role in colonial cultural development. Its editors define the "colonial book" as "what the colonists bought and read, as well as what they printed or reprinted", maintaining that these activities were "structurally interrelated with the book trades of western Europe." Here, Round proposes a somewhat different angle of attack, one that draws on emerging methodologies in book history to help clear spaces not only for the identities and voices of subaltern readers and writers but, more importantly, for the material practices by which they engaged the English book trade.
