This volume deals with English Puritan book printing and publishing in the Netherlands, especially in the cities of Amsterdam and Leiden, in the early 17th century. Because of the censorship in England, many Puritans had to go abroad to print their books. Once produced by Dutch presses, the books were shipped, or smuggled, back to England. This work centres on a body of about 350 Puritanical books, mostly in the English language, printed in the Dutch Republic by Puritan printers in exile or by sympathetic Dutch printers. It examines the chain of authors, printers, publishers, financial backers, smugglers and booksellers involved. Zealous Puritan believers participated at each stage. The work is relevant for study of the relationship between Dutch printing and Puritan activities in Britain.
