The Bookshop with Professor Andrew Pettegree
October 6 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm BST
The Bookshop explores the evolution of bookselling from the cramped collectors’ shops frequented by Samuel Pepys to the radical feminist bookshops of the 70s, the rise of monolithic chains and the new world of online selling. Connecting stories and lives that span centuries, countries and continents, The Bookshop brings us into beloved bookshops of today and looks forward to the possible experience of booksellers of tomorrow.
We are delighted to welcome Professor Andrew Pettegree to the BRN, when he will be talking about his latest book, The Bookshop.
Andrew Pettegree is a professor of modern history at the University of St. Andrews, where he was the founding director of the St. Andrews Reformation Studies Institute. He currently serves as the vice president of the Royal Historical Society. His previous books include The Invention of News, The Book in the Renaissance, which was a New York Times Notable Book of 2010, and Emden and the Dutch Revolt. He lives in Fife, Scotland.
All welcome!
