Analysis of the book Gutenberg: How One Man Remade the World with Words
In class we were assigned to understand the two book titles of Gutenberg: How One Man Remade the World with
Words, and The Gutenberg Revolution: How Printing Changed the Course of History. Despite identical content, the first title focuses on the individual inventor, while the second concentrates on the
invention. Which title is the best description of the book’s content? Does the author, John Man, do a better job of describing how Gutenberg “remade the world” or how “printing” changed the course
of history?
