▼ In the last five years, Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) store has flourished, allowing entrepreneurs and authors to upload their works for sale to Amazon's worldwide audience. The self-published works that dominate the KDP store are fiction, but local histories and memoirs have also found their way to Amazon. Many of these books are non-traditional histories; they are amateur works on community and family stories, memoirs, and life writing. This new and egalitarian historical production has considerable implications for public historians, librarians, and archivists. How it will impact or change the creation of the historical record and influence the field of
history remains to be seen. This research project and its accompanying dissertation will situate some of these histories in their greater historiographical field by conducting a close reading of each, and it will utilize microhistorical methodology and standpoint theory to analyze their significance. While there have been some initial quantitative analyses of self-publishing (Dilevko and Dali, 2006; Bradley et al, 2011), no studies have conducted close readings of these texts or explored their content and
subject matter in an in-depth way. This study will ultimately argue that many of these self-published works have a place in the public sphere as useful pieces of intimate, personal, and sometimes firsthand knowledge of past events, and that they should be studied as important and new styles of historical production. As records of a uniquely 21st century outlook, they offer future generations insight into American experiences from ordinary people who were previously unable to publish their thoughts, stories, and ideas without considerable financial cost to themselves, and who have now taken advantage of new technological products and publication formats to share the histories they deemed important enough to write. Further, these new technologies and KDP have facilitated a kind of "People's" expression that has and will continue to change the

▼ Paratextual clues are the secondary voices in a dialogue dictated by a text and its environment. While marginalia speak to the text itself, colophons, ownership stamps, and receipts of sale reflect the value, usage, and importance of that text. Medical manuscripts contain a variety of paratextual clues such as these, often shedding light on the theory, diagnoses, and treatment plans discussed in the text, as well as the reception and consumption of the texts themselves. Add previous translations, commentaries, famous glosses, and even simple layers in medical theory, and the conversations that the paratext takes part in show a network of sources, scholars, and languages across centuries. This is the macro-story of the manuscripts of Yūnānī Ṭibb, or Greco-Arabic medicine, in India.
This dissertation focuses on the Indian reception of a major Arabic medical encyclopedia — Najīb al-Dīn al-Samarqandī’s (d. 619/1222) al-Asbāb wa al-ʿAlāmāt — through the intermediary of its most famous commentary — Nafīs b. ʿIwaḍ al-Kirmānī’s (fl. 841/1437) Sharḥ al-Asbāb wa al-ʿAlāmāt — and the subsequent Indian commentary tradition based on his text. By working with the paratextual clues that the extant Indian Arabic and Persian manuscripts have to offer, the project aims to contextualize the reception and usage of these ṭibbī (medical) manuscripts in the Indian context.
With Indian manuscripts in this commentary tradition dating from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, my dissertation attempts to explain the developments of this medical tradition in India, through the lens of the reception of these Greco-Arabic medical manuscripts, as interacting with each other, previous medical sources, and the medical practices of their environments.

▼ How did Victorian readers choose what to read, and why should this matter? Studies of Victorian reading practices have explored which texts Victorian readers chose to read and how they interpreted them, but scholars have generally neglected the actual processes through which readers became informed about and made their reading selections, as well as the Victorians’ discursive treatment of those processes. Addressing this lapse, I argue that from the Victorians’ perspective, the ways readers selected books had a profound effect on their reading experiences, shaping how they understood texts’ meanings, developed relationships with books, and characterized themselves as readers.
To investigate this overlooked aspect of reading in the nineteenth century, I draw on a variety of sources from the Victorian period, including metadata, literary representations of readers, and nonfiction prose that addresses
book selection, by figures such as John Stuart Mill, Henry Morley, Mark Pattison, and John Ruskin. These sources provide a rich sense of the varied ways in which Victorian readers came across books and made
book selections, including searching through catalogues, following others’ recommendations, and browsing
book stall shelves or stacks of books at home. I outline two divergent attitudes circulating in Victorian publications about
book selection, one advocating readers’ purposeful pursuits of information about books, arranged by educated individuals, and the other celebrating the many ways readers could approach literature from outside of the formal infrastructure of information.
The nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century texts that feature most prominently in my analysis of Victorian
book selection habits include the catalogues of Mudie’s library from the 1850s through the 1930s, as well as a number of novels and poems: Arnold Bennett’s Riceyman Steps (1923), Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Aurora Leigh (1856), Robert Browning’s The Ring and the
Book (1868-69), George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss (1860), Charles Kingsley’s Alton Locke (1850), Ouida’s The Tower of Taddeo (1892), and Mark Rutherford’s Clara Hopgood (1896). I conclude the dissertation by bringing into the present the Victorians’ concerns about informed reading, analyzing Rebecca Mead’s My Life in Middlemarch (2014) to study the relationship between expert guidance on texts and emotional identification with texts.

▼ Com o propósito de contribuir com dados empíricos para as discussões sobre o livro eletrônico e o futuro do livro, a pesquisa buscou compreender e analisar as formas pelas quais estudantes que ingressaram na Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) em 2011 se apropriaram dos conteúdos da lista de leituras obrigatórias do vestibular, composta por 12 títulos. Partiu-se do modelo da Ordem dos Livros de Roger Chartier (1998), aplicando-se o con-ceito das listas de vestibular como forma canônica desenvolvido por Ana Cláudia Fidélis (2008). O planejamento metodológico da dissertação seguiu o modelo de Pesquisa em Comuni-cação de Maria Immacolata Vasallo de Lopes (2003). A amostra foi escolhida levando em conta dados quantitativos preexistentes da pesquisa Retratos da Leitura no Brasil (2008). A observa-ção envolveu 263 estudantes de primeiro ano de nove cursos da UFRGS, um de cada Grande Área da Capes, que responderam a um questionário fechado autoaplicado. O formulário incluía questões sobre a quantidade de livros recomendados lidos na íntegra ou parcialmente e os su-portes adotados, além de quantidades de downloads e leituras eletrônicas. Foram empregadas categorias descritivas elaboradas a partir de autores do referencial teórico como John B. Thomp-son (2008), Ted Striphas (2011) e José Afonso Furtado (2006). A análise dos dados quantitati-vos originados pelo levantamento foi realizada de forma qualitativa. Também foi realizada em menor escala triangulação empregando técnicas qualitativas, mesclando-se observação direta e entrevistas telefônicas. A análise dos resultados apontou que houve predominância da leitura em livro impresso, suporte empregado por 90% dos respondentes. O livro eletrônico foi consultado ou lido por pouco mais de 30% dos candidatos pesquisados. Este grupo minoritário dividia-se em dois subconjuntos principais: os que utilizaram o meio digital por se constituir em uma for-ma facilitada de acesso aos títulos e os que empregaram o suporte eletrônico como apoio ao estudo, conjugado com meios impressos. Também se observou que a distribuição em domínio público teve a tendência de determinar os títulos mais lidos eletronicamente. A observação a-pontou ainda grande variedade de configurações de relacionamento com os diferentes suportes de leitura, tanto em torno de perfis individuais quanto por área temática dos cursos. Colateral-mente, observou-se que candidatos dos cursos mais disputados tiveram a tendência de ler mais títulos da lista recomendada, com prevalência da forma impressa.

▼ "Our Paper Allegories" argues that throughout the colonial and antebellum periods in the United States, the artifact of paper frequently operated as an archive of intimate gendered, sexual, racial, and communal relations and histories. Early and nineteenth-century American writers animated these relations in what I call, adapting a phrase from Herman Melville, "paper allegories," or works that create elaborate constructions of affiliation or subjectivity by drawing attention to the paper-based materiality of the text. The Habermasian model of the public sphere has heavily influenced scholarship on early American print culture. In that model, paper, the "body" of the text, recedes from perception in service to the "soul" of print, ideas. This dissertation, in contrast, shows that because American readers and writers were themselves often part of, or at least conscious of, the papermaking process - until 1867 paper was made from linen and cotton rags often recycled from individual households - they were sensitive the potential for narrative to be embedded within, not solely imprinted upon, paper. These "paper allegories" tended to focus on women's bodies and the queer qualities of public intimacy. This dissertation analyzes the ways in which Anne Bradstreet, Lydia Sigourney, Herman Melville, William Wells Brown, authors of ephemeral texts, and others wrote about the materiality of print, each emphasizing the meanings embedded within paper. This dissertation advances the study of print culture and the
history of the
book by showing how studies have tended to privilege printed text or written words in a way that does not fully account for how early American and nineteenth-century U.S. readers cultivated a sense of the page, a sense that the shredded rags within represented their bodies, identities, labors, and communal and affective ties to one another.

▼ In The Shaping of America, historical geographer D. W. Meinig explores some geopolitical “might-have-beens” to suggest that alternative imaginings are useful because they “jar us out of habits of mind, loosen images so familiar, so constantly put before us, so deeply imprinted on our national consciousness that they are assumed to be fixed and inevitable.” Meinig’s invitation to explore the contingency of our current nation-form provides a starting point for my dissertation, which argues that the versions of national geography transmitted to readers through popular nineteenth-century literary and cultural forms dismantle our inherited narratives of US imperial expansion. I analyze a wide range of texts, including novels, newspapers, travel and exploration narratives, textbooks, travel and railway guidebooks, maps and atlases, each of which has its own story to tell about the production of the space “America” between the Louisiana Purchase and the Spanish-American War. At the center of my discussion of these different kinds of texts lies the act of reading itself, which I claim was intimately tied to the more abstract ideological work of imagining different kinds of geographic spaces at different scales. Reading allowed nineteenth-century Americans to imagine nation and empire; it provided them opportunities to limn expanding perimeters, imagine diverse interiors, take in manifold populations, and fantasize about the extent of political and territorial dominion. I argue that reading engendered the imaginative formation and reformation of nineteenth-century American geography, thus producing vibrant alternative forms of geographic consciousness and revealing that the experience of geography was much more ragged and dialectical than our retrospective narratives of territorial expansion suggest. Ultimately, this dissertation contends that nineteenth-century American readers could never have imagined the eventual shape of the continental United States, or the process by which temporally and spatially changing and changeable sets of relationships would yield its current form.
My dissertation engages the work of scholars who have variously turned to the intersections of geography and print culture to explore ideologies of exceptionalism, nationalism, and empire. While the field of American studies fruitfully trends toward wider geographic frames that reconfigure U.S. economic, cultural, and literary histories, this project suggests that these new scales, in fact, rely on a fixed and knowable national geography rather than the flexible geographies of imagination and lived experience. “Reading the Map” addresses the production of geographical imagination from the perspectives of a fluid, contestable national space and an uneven circulation of print among heterogeneous reading publics. Though it ranges from accounts of expeditions to railway guides to schoolroom geographies, my dissertation is bound together by a common interest in the way literary texts and readers produce space and geography. The chapters demonstrate a…

▼ Situated between the decline of the obsolete privilege system and the rise of copyright, literary borrowing in eighteenth-century Germany has long been characterized as unregulated. Studying fan fiction, however, reveals a different story about the creation and consumption of literature while unearthing overlooked notions of literary property and authorship. “Borrowing Werther: The Rise and Regulation of Fan Fiction in Eighteenth-Century Germany,” is the first in-depth study of the
history of “fan fiction” – literary works written by readers who appropriate pre-existing characters invented by other authors.
Because eighteenth-century authors themselves struggled with what to name these works –variously suggesting Fortsetzung, Anhang, and Beylage – this dissertation deliberately imports the anachronistic term; after all, like fan fiction today, these appropriations could take the form of prequels, sequels, and spinoffs. Based on close readings of literary and legal texts, “Borrowing Werther” documents the widespread practice of writing “fan fiction” and reconstructs the contemporaneous debate about the much-disputed literary phenomenon.
Analyzing the changing reading, writing, and consumer habits of the late-eighteenth century, “Borrowing Werther” first scrutinizes the social, economic, and aesthetic changes that motivated the rapid rise of fan fiction after 1750. Then, utilizing an ethnographic approach borrowed from legal and literary anthropology, this dissertation identifies the set of unwritten, extralegal customary norms that governed the production of these works. This dissertation thus reinterprets the “literary commons” of the eighteenth century, arguing that what appears to have been the free circulation of characters was actually circumscribed by rules and conditions. Finally, after investigating how these customary norms influenced the rise of intellectual property rights in Germany, “Borrowing Werther” demonstrates how these rules translate into a distinctive form of literature. “Borrowing Werther” ultimately uncovers a largely overlooked literary genre and reveals a new concept of literary originality and authorship that predates Romanticism.

▼ This thesis examines the book in the nineteenth century by way of an unusual corpus: movable and novelty books for children, drawn from the Opie Collection of Children’s Literature at the Bodleian Library. It argues that these items, which have been either ignored or actively dismissed by scholars of children’s literature, are of two-fold significance for the history of the book: they encourage a sense of the book as a constitutively (rather than an incidentally) material object, and they demand an understanding of reading as not just a mental activity, but a physical one as well. Each of the first five chapters of the thesis centres on a different format. The opening chapter discusses the Regency-era paper doll books produced by Samuel and Joseph Fuller, exposing the tension between form and content in these works. The second chapter looks at Victorian panorama books for children, showing how the panorama format affects space, time, and the structure of any text accompanying the image. The third chapter reads the pop-up book’s key tension—the tension between surface and depth in the pursuit of an illusion of three dimensions—in terms of flat, theatrical, and stereoscopic picture-making, three other nineteenth-century pictorial modes in which an illusion of three-dimensionality is important. The fourth chapter traces self-reflexive accounts of printing, publishing, and the material book in dissolving-view books produced by the German publisher and printer Ernest Nister at the end of the nineteenth century. The fifth chapter positions the late nineteenth-century mechanical books designed and illustrated by Lothar Meggendorfer in terms of two material analogies, the puppet and the mechanical toy or automaton. The final chapter synthesizes evidence as to how the movable book could and should be read from across formats, foregrounding in particular the ways in which the movable embodies reading.

▼ This dissertation uses a close study of the science of galvanism to reconstruct the movement of scientific information during and after the Napoleonic Wars. Galvanism—a science concerned with electricity, matter, and life—was one of the most dynamic and popular fields for both specialists and laypeople during 1790–1830. I argue that galvanism was a crucial sphere of activity driving a broader transformation in European scientific communications. Galvanism’s practitioners self-consciously envisioned their science as a fast-paced race for new experimental discoveries. This went hand in hand with a new role for “information” (in its early-nineteenth-century sense of up-to-date intelligence or news) in the making of scientific knowledge. By following information about galvanism across wartime frontiers—in newspapers, journals, letters, and the records of conversations—I demonstrate how the struggle to maintain a cross-border flow of experimental results during the disruptions and blockades of the Napoleonic era forced scientific practitioners to innovate in how they kept in touch across distance. Ranging across Western Europe and North America, and with a particular focus on Britain, I combine macro-level analysis of communication systems with close studies of how information on the move was woven into the social dynamics of individual scientific careers, and the technical content of laboratory work.
The first chapter uses the spread of Alessandro Volta’s galvanic battery in 1800 to introduce the fluid and hybrid media world of scientific information at the beginning of the nineteenth century, and its distinctive practice: reprinting. Chapters two, three, and four each continue the story of galvanism while focusing on individual forms of communication. Chapter two examines the increasing presence of science in daily newspapers. Chapter three looks at the new monthly scientific journals that appeared around 1800, showing how they brought periodical print into the day-to-day practice of experimental investigation. Chapter four looks at letters, using the archive of Sir Charles Blagden at the Royal Society to reconstruct correspondence between London and Paris during Napoleon’s Continental System blockade. Chapter five discusses the end of the wars and surveys the landscape of scientific communication that emerged after the coming of peace in 1815.

▼ This thesis provides the first account of complaint in Older Scots literature. It argues for the coherent development of a distinctively Scottish complaining voice across the fifteenth century, characterised by an interest in the relationship between amatory and ethical concerns, between stasis and narrative movement, and between male and female voices. Chapter 1 examines the literary contexts of Older Scots complaint, and identifies three paradigmatic texts for the Scottish complaint tradition: Ovid’s Heroides; Boethius’s De Consolatione Philosophiae; and Alan of Lille’s De Planctu Naturae. Chapter 2 concentrates on the complaints in Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Arch. Selden. B. 24 (c. 1489-c. 1513). It considers afresh the Scottish reception of Lydgate’s Complaint of the Black Knight and Chaucer’s Anelida and Arcite, and also offers original readings of three Scottish complaints preserved uniquely in this manuscript: the Lay of Sorrow, the Lufaris Complaynt, and the Quare of Jelusy. Chapter 3 focuses on the relationship between complaint and narrative, arguing that the complaints included in the Buik of Alexander (c. 1438), Lancelot of the Laik (c. 1460), Hary’s Wallace (c. 1476-8), and The Buik of King Alexander the Conquerour (c. 1460-99) act as catalysts for narrative movement and subvert the complaint’s traditional identity as a static form. Chapter 4 is a study of complaint in Robert Henryson’s three major works: the Morall Fabillis (c. 1480s); the Testament of Cresseid (c. 1480-92); and Orpheus and Eurydice (c. 1490-2), and argues that Henryson consistently connects the complaint form with the concept of self-knowledge as part of wider discourses on effective governance. Chapter 5 presents the evidence that a text’s identity as a complaint influenced its presentation in both manuscript and print witnesses. The witnesses under discussion date predominantly from the sixteenth century; the chapter thus also uses them to explore the complaints’ later reception history.

▼ Through an examination of the codicological and
bibliographical features of manuscript and print cookbooks produced
between 1300 and 1600, I offer a narrative of the early
history of
English cookeries, their readers, and their producers. The success
of the genre was due, in part, to its flexibility. Cookbooks could
be used in multiple ways in and out of the kitchen. Furthermore, I
examine the shift from manuscript to print through the lens of
cookbooks. I argue that an audience for early English printed
cookbooks was already in place prior to the introduction of print.
The audience for cookeries in England grew steadily over the course
of three hundred years, incorporating new readers who spanned class
and gender divides. The expanding audience in turn propelled new
cookbook production.The transition from script to print provides
the backdrop for the genre’s development. First examining late
medieval cookbooks as technical literature, I posit that many of
these texts were used in contemporary kitchens. Some of the
earliest English cookbooks, manuscript rolls, served as
aides-memoires for kitchen staff in great households. Other early
manuscript cookbooks were instructional texts, used by cooks in
medieval kitchens. Some fifteenth-century cookbook readers,
aspirant professionals such as medical practitioners and lawyers,
did not require the texts for cooking. These readers used the texts
to familiarize themselves with what had been served to their social
superiors as a way to fit in and excel in a new social environment.
Recipes were a vehicle for shaping a group’s new identity. Even
while readers were increasingly from the professional and gentry
class, cookeries still reflected a noble cuisine. This continued
well after the introduction of print in England. However, the
non-noble audience expanded enough for printers to specifically
target these readers. These printed cookbooks were filled with
recipes for gentry and professionals. At this point, we have clear
evidence of women readers accessing cookeries. Once again, this new
audience grew, using the cookbooks available to them, and in the
1570s and 1580s printers began producing texts explicitly for
women. Now authors and printers affirmed the idea in print that
eating and dining were pleasurable. They also inserted names and
events important to English identity into cookbooks. This link
between cookeries and the kingdom made cooking a domestic
enterprise that was more than more than just a daily task, it was a
connection to an identity, shared by other English
readers.

▼ In the history of printing, the Romantic period
(1780-1830) is not an especially important milestone. Until the
introduction of steam in the 1840s, the basic process of printing
had remained relatively unchanged since its invention in the
fifteenth century. However, it is during the Romantic period that
the process of printing begins to evolve from an artisanal
handicraft into a full-scale industrial process. Although this
technological transition was slow and subtle, public discourse
during the Romantic period reveals a surprisingly nuanced awareness
of what it means to communicate in a system dominated by print.
Among those theorizing the new culture of print, satirists and
periodical editors are particularly invested in commenting on print
culture, as doing so helps create an audience for their work.
Although their materials are ephemeral (e.g., pamphlets and
periodicals) and designed to sell, their printed productions also
attempted to solve some of the cultural problems associated with
the rise of print. In particular, paratextual elements (such as
fantastical illustrations of printing presses and editorial
introductions) convey important messages about the implicit and
explicit contexts for the texts they accompany. The editorial
introductions to brand new periodicals, which constitute the bulk
of my analysis, are particularly rich veins of discourse since – by
the nature of the genre – the editorial introduction argues for the
text's relevance to its audience, a new nation of readers unused to
the strange conditions of information overload. Furthermore, the
editorial introduction ambitiously envisions the purpose of the new
periodical not only in relation to the known problems and
established protocols of print culture, but also to the imagined
conditions of posterity. In order to relate such messages, the
editorial narratives and satirical illustrations I study use
powerful metaphors to convey the ascendency of the press in the
public imagination. Within the metaphors established in these
paratextual elements, particular visions of the Romantic printed
present, the literary past, and the future of textual culture
become possible. These visions, I argue, while not cohesive,
nevertheless reveal something about the ways in which Romantic
print culture invented itself as an exceptional
period.

▼ In this dissertation, I tell the story of midcentury attempts to establish, develop, and study bibliotherapy in the US. I follow three groups-hospital librarians, psychologists and psychiatrists, and language arts educators-from the 1930s to the 1960s, when each in its own ways expressed belief in the therapeutic power of reading and set out to enact that belief as a legitimate practice in the evolving contexts of its profession and in the broader culture. These professionals tried to learn what happened within people during and after reading, and they attempted to use what they learned to apply reading toward healthy ends.
Today, therapeutic reading has become commonplace to the extent that it seems natural. In this dissertation, I aim to recover and explore the midcentury processes by which therapeutic reading came to seem at once natural, medical, and scientific. I argue that midcentury bibliotherapy functioned in concert with an evolving cultural narrative that I call "reading for health." The reading for health narrative gathers up into a coherent story various and deep beliefs and commonplaces about the power of books over our minds and our bodies. In midcentury bibliotherapy, reading for health was reinvigorated as a story about the marriage of science and culture, a unity narrative that claimed the iconic
book-capable of swaying minds and societies alike, and burnished with all that
western civilization signified-for the professions that applied reading toward their healthy
ends. As I demonstrate, however, these narratives were not confined to discrete
professions, but functioned as a part of a larger cultural movement set upon the shifting fault lines of the humanities and science.
Each of the groups I follow took an avid interest in what I have called the embodied reader. Rather than viewing reading as an act of a disembodied mind, they understood the practice as a psychosomatic experience in which mind and body could not be disconnected. Moreover, they believed that reading could capitalize on the embodied nature of thought and affect, and engender healthy effects. In this way, the embodied reader was constructed as a new, modern locus of both the literary experience and the therapeutic ethos.
By valuing above all else how reading could be used to achieve health, advocates of bibliotherapy fashioned a form of applied humanities, one that defined the meaning and judged the value of books in terms of their utility and efficacy. In so doing, they contributed to the development of a form of the medicalized humanities that now resonates in three contemporary sites: (1.) the study and use of bibliotherapy in clinical psychology; (2.) the dominant and naturalized approach to books known as therapeutic reading; and (3.) the medical humanities.

▼ The present study consists of two major parts: the first and central part of the project is an expanded historical and cultural consideration of Luis Venegas de Henestrosa’s Libro de cifra nueva (1557); the second is a translation of Venegas’s Libro, here made available in English for the first time. As one of the earliest books of intabulations for keyboard printed in Spain, the Libro is a valuable source of information about keyboard practice in 16th-century Spain: performance practices, improvisation at the keyboard, the repertoire played on and arranged for the instrument, and the sources of that repertoire. The project places this important source in the context of Early Modern Spanish culture and addresses important shifts in music pedagogy arising from by Humanist ideas introduced to Spain in the 16th century. My study shows that autodidacticism (or self-teaching) was the Humanist ideal that had the most impact on the content and layout of the
book. Given the great degree of self-determination that this book’s autodidacticism offered readers, its musical praxis stands revealed as an important socio-cultural tool. Drawing on other contemporary works that promote the use of autodidacticism to learn language, decorum, games, and court polity, my conclusions show how music-making could become a powerful set of skills capable of shaping subjectivity, a set of skills that was used equally by individual subjects as well as the State in the process of creating identity.

▼ This dissertation offers a way of bridging the growing divide within contemporary literary studies and across the humanities between frameworks focusing on questions of signification, representation, and textual hermeneutics on the one hand, and those focusing on materiality, affect, and posthermeneutics on the other. I explore the phenomenon of writing as an interaction or negotiation of different materialities that implies a dispersal of the agency of textual production onto an array of participants. More specifically, "The Materialities of Writing" develops a theoretical framework with which to think about the materiality of textual production by focusing on the preserved portion of the manuscript of Rainer Maria Rilke's Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge, the so-called "Berner Taschenbuch." Integrating various discourses of materiality - the materiality of the signifier, the materiality of the manuscript, and the materiality of the body - and rooting them in a common new materialist framework, my central claim is that the material practices of writing were essential in the creation of the Aufzeichnungen and therefore haunt the printed text to such an extent that the only way to understand the semantic dynamics of the novel is by returning to the hand-written manuscript. However, the dissertation points beyond this single work and its manuscript history, proposing a fundamental methodology for dealing with the relationship between manuscripts and printed texts as constitutive forms of what we call "the" literary work.Even in its "final" form (i.e. traditional print editions of the Aufzeichnungen), the novel points to the physical process of its generation. This happens most directly through annotations indicating that certain passages are "written in the margin of the manuscript." Drawing extensively on art historical scholarship and theory, I show how the visuality of the manuscript becomes figured in the novel, how, for example, the blotched, crossed-through and stitched-together appearance of the manuscript pages are transformed into the excessive descriptions of fragmented architecture and wounded bodies in Paris. The corporeality of these descriptions, pointing to the physical process of writing by hand, transgresses the boundary between reader and text, allowing the materialities of writing to cross the threshold of the page and to surge forth into the reader's affective, bodily experience during reading. In various ways, the manuscript and materialities of writing continue to haunt the printed work, like a specter. Ultimately, I respond to the question of autobiography in the Aufzeichnungen, avoiding a simple enumeration of the biographical connections between Rilke and Malte, and instead rooting the notion of autobiography in the physical activity of writing. In doing so, my exploration traverses the fluid boundary between corps and corpus, between the body of the writer and the body of the text.Reconsidering the work through the materiality of its production illuminates a dialectic circulation…

▼ The aim of this study is to analyze the content of “Mäwaí’ét” which is a level of knowledge given in the ecclesiastical curriculum of Ethiopia. This knowledge is given by a
book titled the
Book of Mäwaíé’t which is believed to be authored by St. Yared in the 6th century. This study will help readers to know about the content of the
Book of “Mäwaíé’t” and its practice in the church. It is believed to bring a new insight for further researcher in the ecclesiastical tradition in general and the liturgical texts in particular. The paper is framed to have four chapters. The first chapter is devoted to have some background notes about the famous monastery of Zur‟abba Arägawi Sérha Arym, the place where the tradition is believed to have been established by St. Yared and the King (Gäbrä Mäsqäl) and the Saints (Abba ’Arägawi and St Yared) who accompanied him to the monastery. The second chapter discusses about the origin and development of the hymn, its ecclesiastic tradition, the generation of the teachers to date. The third chapter, which is the main body of the research, presents the content analysis. The final chapter contains the conclusion remarks and glossary of terms which are used in the school.

▼ The aim of the dissertation is to examine the
significance of the paperbound book on the book market as part of
the history of consumption. It is an examination of the materiality
of the book, in which the form and function, economics and
distribution of the binding during the last century of the
hand-press era are studied. The intention has been to show that the
ready-bound book was a means for the actors on the book market to
increase the sale of books in the decades around 1800, and that the
ready-bound book as a product was an important component in the
development of the book market towards a modern consumer market.
Through the selling of ready-bound books the book change from being
an intermediary good to a consumer good. The study is based on a
text-sociological view of the book formulated by D. F. McKenzie
(1986). The book circuit model put forward by Adams & Barker
(1993) has been interpreted as a socio-economic explanation for the
existence of the book. The changing conditions for publishing and
the legal, cooperative and economic systems of production and
distribution in Sweden are analysed and discussed to show how the
binding became an essential element in the marketing of the book
and how the publisher within this process became an independent
actor on the book market. With the introduction of the printed
wrapper the main functions of the title page, that is marketing and
labelling was moved from the title page to the exterior of the
book. The materiality of the paper bound book made it an efficient
substrate and medium for text, colour and printed ornament. The
coloured decorated and printed wrappers were the counterpart to the
printed calicoes of peoples clothing and the wallpapers of the
interiors that saw the light on the market at the time. Marketing
through ornament, colour and content became keys to selling books.
The study of contemporary book action catalogues shows that the
paperbound book became a common commodity in libraries of the early
19th century. A material shift took place were the leatherbound
book was replaced by the paperbound book. Paperbindings were
affordable, functional, and aesthetically varied in comparison to
other types of bindings. English summary 18 pp.

▼ A partir da obra Cartas dos primeiros jesuítas do Brasil, organizada por Serafim Leite, este trabalho busca estudar alguns aspectos do processo de produção livresca do século XVI, em particular as condições de redação e de edição dos livros manuscritos e impressos, dentro e fora do ambiente da Igreja Católica, e a sua circulação na Metrópole e na Colônia. A partir da observação de um momento histórico em que a maneira de ler, escrever e difundir os textos sofreu mudanças profundas, pretende reconstruir parte da história da cultura material do livro no século XVI.
Using as reference the work \"Cartas dos Primeiros Jesuítas do Brasilörganized by Serafim Leite, this study aims to analyse some of the aspects related to the book production process during the XVI century, particularly the ones that refer to the writing and editing of manuscripts and prints inside and outside the perimeter of the Catholic Church, and the circulation in both the Metropolis and the Colony. By analysing a particular historical moment in which the way texts were read, written and divulged went through deep changes, the study seeks to retrieve part of the history of the materiality of books in the XVI century.

▼ From tweets to GIFs to memes, social media is awash in bite-sized texts that are perfect for quick, instantaneous consumption and viral sharing. Mixed up in the raucous frenzy of social media, however, are excerpts that originate from print media: quotations from novelists, poets, philosophers, and other authors. The book, far from extinct, has nevertheless become "fragmented," circulating in new ways on digital networks.This study examines the phenomenon of quotations—especially those from books—on the social network Tumblr. Its fundamental question is whether the fragmentation of the book represents a threat to traditional forms of attentive, immersive engagement with long-form texts.The study reports on three research phases, each with distinct methods and data. The first phase, relying on qualitative and quantitative discourse analysis, examined the role of books and traditionally print-based discourses within the context of Tumblr. The second employed ethnographic data techniques, questionnaires and interviews, to uncover Tumblr users' purposes for sharing quotes from books as well as the ways that quoting connects to these users' broader experiences of literacy. The third phase used computational linguistics to distinguish between different types of quotations and to illuminate the features that contribute to "quotability."This study finds that quotation can be—though is not always—intertwined with traditional forms of reading and literate attention. Chapter 3 demonstrates that the quoting of books in particular is a fundamental part of the larger practice of quoting on Tumblr; it further illustrates some of the wide variety of quotations that circulate on this network, from misquotations attributed to famous authors to those quotes that are carefully annotated with bibliographic information, scholarly vocabulary, and other signs of deep familiarity with source texts. Chapter 4 reveals that, for those who quote from books on Tumblr, quoting is often not a form of distraction; rather it can deepen their experience of reading and lead them to discover new books. Yet quoting also serves more fundamental purposes of self-expression and self-care, functions that may be related to the fact that quoting is a starkly gendered (largely female) practice. Chapter 5 suggests that, while many quotations are indeed designed to be easily-decontextualized adages, others are specifically tailored to fulfill quoters' desires to express their intimate thoughts and feelings. Some quotes seem to be tailored to be appreciated by those with deep familiarity with the source text, though such quotations are less popular than easily-decontextualized ones. The fragmentation of the book does not fundamentally threaten traditional forms of reading, though the very purposes of reading are increasingly bound up with self-expression and self-care made possible through social media. The conclusion chapter considers the ramifications of these findings for media studies, the history of the book, and educational practice.

▼ Some Versions of the Fragment, 1700-1800 examines the eighteenth-century literary print fragment archive to redefine the fragment as a genre typified by its materiality. Eighteenth-century fragments included not just sentimental poems, but novels, satires, and political pamphlets. They are both long and short; written by famous and anonymous authors; canonical and unknown. This dissertation, in recuperating the eighteenth-century fragment’s rich variety, offers a taxonomy that includes three versions of the fragment: the unintentional, the intentional, and the complete. Examining the fragment in this way not only provides categories that can help us better understand how fragments fit within various social and cultural conditions in the eighteenth century, but also how these ways of understanding the fragment can help critics account for its evolutions today. Previous analyses of the literary fragment have emphasized its metaphorical qualities and its formal dimensions. This dissertation argues that the genre is defined no less by its materiality: prefaces, punctuation, and page arrangements are the common constitutive elements shared by all three versions of the fragment. By paying attention to the eighteenth-century fragment’s materiality, critics today can better account for the fragment’s role in the period’s generic developments, as well as its evolving literary marketplace.

▼ This dissertation presents findings on book ownership in Ottoman Sarajevo based on the examination of 59 inheritance inventories recorded in the city court registers (sijills) for the period from 1707 to 1828. It includes a case study of one particular book owner, kadi Ṣāliḥ ‘Izzat Ḥromozāde from Sarajevo, who endowed his book collection in 1828. The findings are placed in the wider social and cultural context of Ottoman Bosnia and the questions of literacy, education, the role of libraries, informal channels for the transmission of knowledge, the use of different languages and scripts, the role of scribes and bookbinders in a largely manuscript culture, and the introduction of print. The dissertation draws on the manuscript of the Chronicle of Mullā Muṣṭafā Basheskī (d. cca 1802), as the major narrative source for the period. It also gathers and presents the references to written culture in Bosnian oral poetry and various folk customs revolving around the use of books in order to illustrate one of the many interfaces between the written and spoken word and to demonstrate the range of functions books could play in a largely oral and illiterate society.

▼ This thesis provides a full-length critical treatment of the Essayes (1600-01) of Sir William Cornwallis (c.1579-1614). Cornwallis' Essayes are the first examples of the ‘familiar’ essay in English: to which the rhetorical shaping of persona and the use of the personal voice are central. This is the first such study of Cornwallis since the first half of the twentieth century, and situates his Essayes within their cultural, social, and material contexts. The thesis draws upon previous work on Cornwallis and his Essayes from the 1930s and 1940s, but also on recent developments in early-modern English studies, especially in the fields of the history of rhetoric and the history of reading. The thesis challenges the assumptions behind two major critical approaches to the early-modern essay: firstly that it is a form in which the personal voice can be unambiguously expressed, and secondly that it is an essentially unoriginal genre which is more closely related to reading than to writing. This thesis qualifies these approaches, while demonstrating that the origins of each are found in the rhetorical practices of early English essays. This thesis argues however that Cornwallis’s essays are elaborate fusions of classical commonplaces, humanistic rhetoric, and ethical theories of how to live, resulting from complex interactions between different strands of humanistic educative practices, and that Cornwallis’s use of the personal voice is shaped by ethically-inflected rhetorical theories of affect and imitation. The thesis further attempts to think about how essays were being read in this period, and to do so offers a study of the material traces of reading, in the form of annotations and commonplace books, left by early-modern readers of John Florio’s English translation of Montaigne (1603).

Bound Flowers, Loose Leaves: Horticultural Form and Textual Practice in Early Modern English Print.

▼ The language of plants saturated the English print marketplace in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as printers turned out an extraordinary number of instructional manuals on gardening and husbandry, retailing useful knowledge to a growing class of literate landowners and pleasure gardeners. In those same decades, increasing numbers of miscellanies were issued under titles drawn from the world of plants: poetical gardens, devotional nosegays, forests and bowers of practical wisdom. "Bound Flowers, Loose Leaves" examines these parallel trends as part of a single phenomenon. Against the unknowns of a new and expanding market, the horticultural processes evoked by these diverse texts naturalize the anonymous futures of print publication, situating the new adventure of print within that most ancient discipline of risk management: agriculture. This dissertation argues that these vegetable discourses fundamentally shaped how English readers understood the printed book. With remarkable frequency, printed books turned to a botanical idiom to describe their prodigious capacity to scatter, gather, and multiply, especially in the small literary forms of couplets, posies, and sentences. Showing how plant life became fundamental to how the world was imagined and known in print, I argue that the portability of these "handles of knowledge," in Philip Sidney's phrase, drove the production of both figurative language and natural knowledge in early modern England. In readings of popular instruction manuals and miscellanies as well as works by Isabella Whitney, George Gascoigne, Francis Bacon, and William Shakespeare, I show how these practical instructions and poetic figures organize a fictive reading public, imagined as dispersed consumers of scattered textual copies.

▼ In 1609 Leon Modena, the enigmatic Venetian alchemist,
gambler and rabbi, edited a haggadah, the liturgy for the Jewish
festival of Passover, at the press of the Christian Hebraist
Giovanni di Gara. Populated with images of messianic redemption,
necromancy and infanticide, the Venice Haggadah presented its
readers with an irresistible invitation to imagine, remember and
reenact the Israelite Exodus from Egypt. Describing the function of
the images in a preface to the volume, Modena argued that the
haggadah’s visual program was intended to engage the eyes and
imagination just as the book’s text engaged the intellect. ❧ This
project offers a radical reinterpretation of Jewish visual and
material culture, arguing that the modern academic assumption of a
contest between Jewish texts and the technology of image making is
both ideologically suspect and factually false. While modernity has
become comfortable with the notion of an aniconic Jewish past, I
argue that early modern Jewish visual culture was constructed by
continuities between phenomena previously taken to be in conflict:
reading and seeing, intellect and affect, text and image. ❧ The
Venice Haggadah serves as an appropriate backbone for this study.
The
book not only exerted a tremendous influence on early modern
Jewish visual culture, but also poignantly signals an awareness of
the combined interpretive virtues of visual and verbal material
that I argue is a defining characteristic of Jewish visual culture
in the early modern period. The text of the Passover haggadah is
largely a conventional one. It redacts biblical passages,
traditional hymns, and ancient rabbinic sources to narrate the
redemption of the Israelites from enslavement in Egypt. Haggadah
decoration, however, is historically specific and culturally
idiosyncratic; it is largely in its decoration that one
book is
meaningfully distinguishable from others. At its printing in 1609,
the Venice Haggadah contained the most elaborate visual program of
any text printed for a Jewish audience. Its program of original
woodcuts, including narrative images and architectural frames, span
its forty pages and demonstrates the presence of a vibrant Jewish
visual culture in early modern Italy.

▼ [pt] Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo entender tanto
as práticas de leitura em dispositivos eletrônicos quanto os
lugares do design na produção editorial de livros digitais.
Partindo da premissa de Roger Chartier (1998) de que os suportes de
leitura participam profundamente na construção de significados dos
textos, procurou-se verificar as percepções dos leitores frente aos
dispositivos de leitura eletrônica, mais especificamente com livros
digitais interativos. Diferentemente dos livros digitais lidos em
Kindle, Kobo e em outros dispositivos similares, os interativos são
lidos em tablets com recursos multimídia mais avançados.
Afastando-se ou não da forma do livro tradicional, a qual os
primeiros livros digitais procuram simular, os livros digitais
interativos abrem um novo campo para estudo, tanto da recepção
quanto de sua produção. Nesse cenário, empreendemos uma pesquisa
exploratória que utilizou duas técnicas principais: a pesquisa
bibliográfica e o grupo focal. A literatura nos campos da história
do livro, da leitura e da interação entre o livro e o suporte nos
forneceram bases para se analisar as práticas de leitura, os
conceitos do objeto-livro e as tecnologias. Seguindo a perspectiva
dialógica de Bakhtin (2003), segundo a qual cada enunciado é um elo
na corrente complexamente organizada de outros enunciados,
entendemos ser frutífero articular esses dois conhecimentos: as
vivências e opiniões de leitores, extraídas nos grupos focais, e as
teorias e conceitos encontrados no estado da arte da pesquisa
acadêmica. Ao fim, concluímos que o livro digital interativo ainda
busca sua linguagem própria, num movimento constante de aproximação
ou afastamento com o livro impresso. Ainda, que designer de livros
digitais interativos tem papel fundamental nesse caminho da
descoberta de uma linguagem, por meio de sua atuação como mediador
da leitura: ele deve trabalhar não só com tecnologias e
conhecimentos práticos, mas também com seu olhar voltado ao afeto e
às emoções que os livros, enquanto objetos de leitura, digitais ou
não, provocam nas pessoas.
[en] This research aimed to study both the reading
practices in electronic devices and the design roles in the e-book
production. Based on Roger Chartier s (1998) premise that the
meaning of a text is deeply affected by the media in which the
texts are read, we engage an analysis of readers perceptions
regarding e-readers, more specifically using interactive e-books.
Unlike e-books read on Kindle, Kobo and similar devices, the
interactive ones are read in tablets capable of rendering more
advanced multimedia resources. Whether emulating aspects of the
traditional book or not, interactive e-books opens a new field for
study, both of reception and production. In this scenario, we
undertook an exploratory research that used two main techniques:
the bibliographical research and the focal group. The literature in
the fields of book history, reading, and the interaction between
the reader and media has provided us a foundation to analyze
reading practices, the concepts of the book…

▼ The
Book of Micah is a fascinating writing that developed over several hundred years. According to scholarly consensus, the earliest portions of the writing are located in Mic 1–3 and originated in the eighth century. Though scholars often assign all of Mic 1–3 to the eighth century, this dissertation argues that Mic 1–3, developed in three phases which can be linked to three specific historical settings. The first phase in the formation of Mic 1–3 originated in the period before Sennacherib’s Judean campaign (701 BCE). The first phase (Mic 2:1–11; 3:1–12) records a dispute between the prophetic speaker and the ruling and religious leaders in Jerusalem over land in the Judean Shephelah. The second phase in the formation Mic 1–3 (Mic 1:8, 10–15*) developed after Sennacherib’s 701 BCE campaign which left the Judean Shephelah in ruins. Displaced, former residents, of the Shephelah migrated to Jerusalem and the second phase material developed as a lament over the destruction of the Shephelah. The third phase originated in the exile (Mic 1:1, 3–7, 9, 12b, 13b, 16). This new introduction to Mic 1–3 accomplished three things. First, it shifted the focus from social concerns (Mic 2:1–11; 3:1–12) to cultic concerns. Second, it introduced Jerusalem as the focus divine warrior’s attack. Third, it provided a transition piece for an early collection of prophetic writings commonly referred to as the
Book of the Four. The Micah oracles were preserved from the eighth century to the exile by tradents who first preserved the oracles in the Shephelah because of opposition from the Jerusalem elite. Following Sennacherib’s 701 BCE campaign, tradents in Jerusalem added the second phase material along with an oral tradition that viewed Micah of Moresheth and Hezekiah’s interactions positively. Thus the Micah traditions (oral and written) became part of the larger cultural narrative. Tradents at Mizpah added the third phase material during the exile as a commentary on the effectiveness of Hezekiah’s reforms.

▼ A imprensa de tipos móveis, difundida por Gutenberg, contribuiu decisivamente para produção de livros em grande escala, influenciada principalmente pelo novo suporte de impressão, o papel. Desta união, surge o livro impresso, que a partir deste momento é produzido em grandes quantidades em um curto espaço de tempo, em relação ao livro manuscrito. É neste cenário que a Reforma Protestante tem efetivamente seu início. A pesquisa aborda como os dois maiores expoentes da Reforma Protestante, Lutero e Calvino, se beneficiaram desta nova tecnologia e suporte, e ao mesmo tempo demonstra que, ao se utilizarem esta tecnologia, acabaram contribuindo para a disseminação e aceitação da imprensa e seu produto principal, o livro impresso.
The research proposes to assess the impact and consequences that changing the handwriting to printed was in the sixteenth century, especially in the Protestant Reformation, and how this contributed to the spread of the printed book. Printing with movable type, Gutenberg spread, greatly influenced the printing of books. One of the factors that contributed to the success of this new technology was new support for printing, paper. This new book is now on paper, is printed in unimaginable quantities and in a short time, from the book manuscript on parchment. Against this backdrop, the Protestant Reformation effectively has its beginning. The reformers, as anyone used to this new service and support to spread their ideas. This research proposes to study this issue related to the impact it had on the cultural and religious life of the sixteenth century.

▼ Victor Burton é um designer que dedicou a maior parte do seu trabalho ao livro. A fascinação por este objeto começou ainda na infância devido ao contato com as obras raras da biblioteca da família, o que aguçou o desejo de se tornar designer exclusivamente para projetar livros. Sua atuação no mercado editorial brasileiro começou no final dos anos 1970, na editora Confraria dos Amigos do Livro. Como o maior interesse de Victor no livro é a relação entre texto e imagem, os livros iconográficos se tornaram seu principal objetivo e são nos livros desta natureza onde melhor conseguimos visualizar seu estilo. Victor desenvolveu uma linguagem gráfica própria que redefiniu o padrão do mercado editorial brasileiro. Numa época em que o projeto gráfico, principalmente a capa do livro, entre tantas cores e atrativos disputam a atenção do consumidor nas prateleiras das livrarias, já não é tão fácil identificar nem a editora nem a autoria do projeto gráfico e da capa. Entretanto, os livros de Victor Burton possuem um estilo que nos permite reconhecer sua assinatura.

The designer Victor Burton has dedicated the most part of his work to the book. The interest for this object begun in childhood due the contact with rares books that are part of his
familys collection, which increased the desire to become designer only to design books. When Victor started to work in the Brazilian editorial market at the end of the 1970s, at the
Confraria dos Amigos do Livro house publisher. As the Victors main interest is the relationship between text and image, the iconographic books became his main goal and are in
books of this nature that we can better visualize his style. Victor developed his own graphic language that has redefined the standard of the Brazilian editorial market. At a time when
graphic design, especially the book cover, among many colors and attractive vie for consumer attention on the shelves of bookstores, is not so easy to identify neither the publisher nor the author of the graphic design and cover.

▼ Irish printing in the early years of the Celtic Revival had fallen into disarray, and as a response to this circumstance, Elizabeth Yeats and her brother W.B. Yeats inaugurated a new era of Irish printing with the creation of the Cuala Press. This study seeks to situate the production of this distinctively Irish nationalist press in relation to the reified social relations encoded in the materiality of books produced in England. The distinction between the Irish private press movement and the commercially produced books of England emphasizes the forms colonial resistance embedded in the materiality of the Cuala books. Furthermore, the Dolmen Press, an Irish private press founded five years after the closing of the Cuala in 1946, continues the tradition of Irish press production through its material and linguistic dialogue with colonial representation and the formation of an Irish identity in an international context.

▼ This thesis attempts a synthesis of bibliographic
criticism and queer theory by examining representations of texts as
eroticized objects in early modern drama. Through analyses of plays
by Marlowe, Shakespeare, Middleton, and Beaumont & Fletcher,
the thesis demonstrates how the stage collapses sex into writing,
reading, and bookmaking. Early modern drama breaks down the
distinction between the “real” and the “metaphoric” by interlocking
its discourses about sex and texts. By locating textual objects in
a matrix of eroticized acts of writing and reading, the stage
reveals an early modern tendency to organize sex, desire, and
pleasure around objects and acts rather than
identities.
