The dreadful name of Henry Hills re-examines the life of one of the most provocative printers operating in seventeenth-century England. Rather than offering a more conventional cradle-to-grave biographical narrative, however, this compelling book explores how Henry Hills's reputation, his notoriety, and his legacy has evolved over time. Richly illustrated and thoroughly researched, The dreadful name contributes fresh insights into Hills's life and afterlife, and it offers new perspectives on how early modern book-trade agents, and printers in particular, might be remembered and reinterpreted in contemporary book historical scholarship.
