N2 - The ‘Mapping Print, Charting Enlightenment’ (MPCE) project aims to reconstruct popular reading trends to revise understanding of European enlightenment and the transformational impact of print. Through an innovative, industry-wide digital survey of unprecedented scope and sophistication, tracking the circulation in France and across Europe of millions of copies of thousands of titles across all sectors of the book trade of pre-revolutionary France – legal, pirate and contraband. It explores what books were widely read; where they were produced and consumed; what was the relative scale and nature of different parts of the trade – notably religious and illegal publishing; and how ‘popular’ cosmopolitan was popular reading? The ‘Mapping Print, Charting Enlightenment’ (MPCE) project aims to reconstruct popular reading trends to revise understanding of European enlightenment and the transformational impact of print. Through an innovative, industry-wide digital survey of unprecedented scope and sophistication, tracking the circulation in France and across Europe of millions of copies of thousands of titles across all sectors of the book trade of pre-revolutionary France – legal, pirate and contraband. The MPCE (FBTEE-2.0) Data Interface enables you to interact with the underlying MPCE (FBTEE-2.0) Heurist Database in four general ways: by browsing each of the datasets in the database, to see detailed information about each; by searching for particular works, editions, agents, places, events or event clusters in the database; by mapping events by dataset, editions by place of publication, agents by place of residence, or all places in the database; by ranking works, editions, authors, publishers or places of publication by number of copies recorded in key datasets or their combined total (nb. to avoid double countings these tables and totals do not include ‘STN Ins’, ‘STN Stocktakes’ and ‘Permission simple licenced print-runs’). In addition, when browsing or ranking it is possible to apply various conditions to enable you to refine your interrogation of the database by restricting calculations to various subsets of the data. The bedrock of the database is a set of over 93,000 Events, each of which took place on a certain day between 1769 and 1794.
