It asks: how do we conceive of ephemera in a period before it was routinely employed (from the eighteenth century) to describe ostensibly disposable print? In the sixteenth and seventeenth centurieswhen objects and texts were rapidly proliferatingthe term began to acquire its modern association with transitoriness. But contributors to this volume show how ephemera was also integrally related to wider social and cultural ecosystems. Chapters explore those ecosystems and think about the papers and artefacts that shaped homes, streets, and cities or towns and their attendant preservation, loss, or transformation. The studies here therefore look beyond static records to think about moments of process and transmutation and accordingly get closer to early modern experiences, identities, and practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBiographies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eintroduction\/ spawning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003econcepts\/ emerging\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMegan Heffernan, Expired Time: Archiving Waste Manuscripts \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnna Reynolds, What do Texts and Insects have in Common?; or, Ephemerality before Ephemera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBruce Boehrer, Time’s Flies: Ephemerality in the Early Modern Insect World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobert Bearman, What is an ‘ephemeral archive’?
