Summary

The 16th century saw an explosion of printing and the rise of literature in England, as well as the rest of Europe. The printing press made printing large numbers of pamphlets, broadsheets, newspapers, and books easy, resulting in things like the standardization of education, the spread of Protestant ideas, and of course, the rise in questionable risque materials flowing throughout courts in Europe.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Renaissance English History podcast.
0:11.0	I'm your host Heather Tesco, and I'm a storyteller who makes history accessible because I believe it's a pathway to understanding who we are, our place in the universe, and being
0:21.8	in touch with our own humanity. This is episode 62, printing and literature from
0:27.9	Kaxton to Shakespeare. Being someone who loves books, this is something I've wanted to delve
0:33.1	into for a long time, and I'm super excited to do this episode. Before I get started, though, a few
0:39.0	reminders. First, please check out the Agora Podcast Network, of which this podcast is a proud
0:45.7	member. The Agora Podcast of the Month is the History of Egypt podcast, and you can find it at

0:59.0	podcasty places.

1:19.0	digital advent calendar and every day a window opens up to some kind of Tudor history goodness,
1:25.0	like a recipe for was sale or a Christmas playlist or
1:29.4	decoration ideas. So you can sign up and get that and enjoy it for the rest of the holiday period.
1:36.0	Secondly, the Tudor planner is selling really well. I'm only printing 500 of them. We're almost getting
1:41.8	through. So be sure to order yours if you want to spend
