Detailed Solution

The above statement is true;
There was a widespread sense of unease regarding the potential impact on people's mental states that the increased availability of printed materials and broader dissemination of books would have. Those who believed that readers could become irreligious and rebellious opposed the dissemination of printed books. Because it was feared that if there was no control over what was printed and read, then disobedient and irreligious ideas and thoughts could spread more easily. It was further feared by religious authorities and monarchs, as well as a great number of writers and artists, that the circulation of printed works would destroy "valuable" literature.
