It was neither the civilization of Renaissance Italy nor the printing press that created the modern world. Instead, it was reading. Through historical analysis and readings of Petrarch, Bruni, Valla, Reuchlin, Erasmus, Foxe and Milton, The Communion of the Book explores how literacy produced modern values, and how digital media threaten those values.
