Almanacs and Prognostications

Abstract

This chapter discusses the ubiquitousness of almanacs in early modern England. Aside from considering their numbers and functions, it sketches the conventions of the genre and accounts for some of its changes during the period in question. It reflects on what it meant for a work to be produced in bulk, and to be put to use by a particular person. The chapter begins with three surviving almanacs, each bearing traces of its original use and serving to introduce the conventions of the genre.
