Product Information
The "engaging" and "ambitious" ( Washington Post ) history of libraries and the people who built them, from the ancient world to the digital age. The history of the library is rich, varied, and stuffed full ofincident.In TheLibrary , historians AndrewPettegreeand Arthur derWeduwenintroduce us to the antiquarians and philanthropists who shaped the world's great collections, trace theriseand fall ofliterarytastes, and reveal the high crimes and misdemeanors committed in pursuit of rare manuscripts.In doing so, they reveal that whilecollections themselves are fragile, often falling into ruinwithin a few decades, the idea of the library has been remarkably resilientas each generation makes--and remakes--theinstitution anew. " The Library proves that truth is more intriguing than fiction...Full of charismatic individuals and astonishing facts." The Times (London)

Reviews
"What is a 'library'? Is it a mute display of personal wealth and power, or of a humble devotion to God? A routine community resource, or a waste of taxpayers' money? In The Library , we are led nimbly through the centuries, seeing how it has been all of these things and more, as the authors place on the shelf a cornucopia of bookish history." -- Judith Flanders, author of A Place for Everything
