Title pages in early Quaker publications

What is it about?

The qualitative study compares the Quaker approach to title page design and language with contemporary printed works by non-Quaker writers in order to test whether it can be said that there is a prototypically Quaker title page.The results show a preference for an ideological framework but a reluctance by Quaker writers to commodify their output. Early Quaker publications demonstrate, in my opinion, a distinctiveness in their approach to creating and producing paratext for pamphlets, tracts and books.
