Notes, bibliography, index. Description: A few black and white illustrations. ''William Caxton's life (1422-91) sums up many of the themes that were important in his century. A distinguished man of business, a gifted translator and stylist, he was responsible for perhaps the most significant event in English social history of the fifteenth century -- the publication of the first printed book in the country. Geoffrey Hindley has based his portrait of this vigorous age on the comments, notebooks and account books of those who lived through it, thus presenting the life of fifteenth-century English people as far as possible as they saw it themselves.''
