Notes

  • Approaches to print culture post-Leah Price
    • book history
    • media theory/studies
    • periodicals studies
    • eco-book history (Gidal)
    • information/library history
    • history of reading
    • Liz Miller, Leah Price — maybe not so narrow time-wise
    • Priya Joshi, In Another Country
    • How those fields meet and how a book history approach intersects with and is different from reception history
      • Joshi and Gidal are reception history
      • James Seacord Victorian Sensation
      • Price 2012 as "anti-reception history"?
      • Distinct from binding and wood pulp —> literal material history is not so much done (ecological/industrial underpinnings)
      • Wooden Os
    • acid, hazardousness in print industry
  • Use this to build an exam list
  • Reception history is important but I (am/am not) doing that —> where you want to go and what you want to find

Knowledge Gaps

  • Labor
  • Straight up material history
  • Reprint culture (Shakespeare, other "classics")
  • More granular periodization (cf. Miller 2013 and Leckie 2015)
