BOOK
HISTORY is an area of interdisciplinary
enquiry, drawing on the methods of Bibliography,
Social History, Literary Criticism, and Cultural
Theory. Its specific objects of study include
literacy and reading practices, relations among
publishers, authors, and readers, and media production
technology.
The
Centre for the History of the Book (CHB) was established
in 1995 as an international and interdisciplinary
centre for advanced research into all aspects
of the material culture of the text - its production,
circulation, and reception from manuscript to
the electronic text.
Serving a community of
over 30 scholars across several university departments,
the CHB is today an internationally recognised
centre dedicated to the promotion of Bibliography
and Book History.
