here is a longstanding confusion
oí
Johann
bust, Gutenberg s one-time business partner,
with the notorious Doctor Faustus. The association is
not surprising to Elizabeth L.
Eisenstein,
for from its
verv
early days the printing press was viewed by some
as black magic.
Por
the most part, however, it was
welcomed as a divine art by Western churchmen and
statesmen. Sixteenth-centurv Lutherans hailed it for
emancipating Germans from papal rule, and seventeenth-
century English radicals viewed it as a weapon against
bishops and kings. While an earlv colonial governor of
Virginia thanked God for the absence of printing
m
his colony, a century later revolutionaries on both sides
of the Atlantic paid tribute to Gutenberg for setting
in motion an irreversible movement that undermined
the rule of priests and kings. Yet scholars continued to
praise printing as a peaceful art. They celebrated the
advancement of learning while expressing concern about
information overload.
In Divine Art, Infernal Machine,
Eisenstein,
author of the
hugely influential The Printing Press as an Agent of Change,
has written a magisterial and highly readable account of
five centuries of ambivalent attitudes toward printing
and printers. Once again, she makes a compelling case
for the ways in which technological developments and
cultural shifts are intimately related. Always keeping an
eye on the present, she recalls how,
m
the nineteenth
century, the steam press was seen both as a giant engine
of progress and as signaling the end of a golden age.
Predictions that the newspaper would supersede the
book proved to be false, and
Eisenstein
is equally
skeptical of pronouncements of the supersession of
print by the digital.
The use of print has always entailed ambivalence
about serving the muses as opposed to profiting from
the marketing of commodities. Somewhat newer is
the tension between the perceived need to preserve
an ever-increasing mass or texts against the
verv
real
space and resource constraints
oí bncks-and-mortar
libraries. Whatever the multimedia future may hold,
Eisenstein
notes, our attitudes toward print will never
be monolithic. For now, however, reports or its death
are greatlv exaggerated.
