T.H. Barrett examines the origins of printing in China, challenging the Eurocentric narrative that centers on Gutenberg. By meticulously tracing the historical and cultural conditions that allowed for the development of woodblock printing, the author illuminates the sophisticated technological landscape of the Tang Dynasty. This scholarly investigation reclaims the legacy of early Chinese innovators and provides a critical perspective on the global history of the book.
