Translation and the Book Trade in Early Modern Europe

Pérez Fernández is currently working on a book project entitled Translation and the International Republic of Letters. Edward Wilson-Lee is a Fellow and the Director of Studies in English at Sidney Sussex College, where he teaches medieval and early modern literature.
