David Finkelstein's study is a timely one - to use a printing term, a justified history.

Times Literary Supplement

In three densely argued and fact-filled chapters, David Finkelstein provides an outstanding account of how locally shaped nineteenth-century compositors operated within global contexts... Movable Types is an impressive achievement that will hopefully stimulate extensive scholarly engagement.

Sandro Jung, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Journal of the Edinburgh Bibliographical Society

Unlike most trade union journals which are dominated by detailed discussion of wages and conditions, those described here contain a great deal of literary material

Robert Laurie, Scottish Labour History

this volume is intended for a wider readership than simply the printing historian. Movable Types is a reflection on the experience of nineteenth-century print workers within a dynamic and changing trade. Finkelstein argues that only by appreciating the infrastructure and mechanisms that underpinned the industry can we understand the formation and structure of local and transnational print economies.

Caroline Archer-Parré, Publishing History

This is a study of international print networks developed across the English-speaking world over a significant part of the long nineteenth century. The first study of its kind, it draws on unique sources from Australasia, North America, South Africa, the British Isles, and Ireland, to explore how printers interacted and shared trade and cultural identities across international boundaries during the period 1830-1914. Morality, mobility, mobilisation, and solidarity were central to how compositors and print trade workers defined themselves during this period. These themes are addressed in case studies on roving printers, striking printers, and creative printers. The case studies explore the cultural values and trade skills transmitted and embedded by such actors, the global networks that enabled print workers to travel across continents in search of work and experience, the trade actions reliant on mobilization and information-sharing across the printing world, and the creative ideas that printers shared through such means as memoirs, poetry, prose, and trade news contributions to print trade journals and other public outlets.
