The Printing Press as an Agent of Change by Elizabeth L. Eisenstein (1980)

In this book, The printing press as an agent of change, Elizabeth Eisenstein conducts an extensive survey of the literature on the three intellectual and social movements of the period 1400–1700: the Italian Renaissance, the Protestant Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution. She also examines the major hypotheses as to their causes and progress and reassesses them in terms of the impact of printing and its products.
