3.00 Credits
The history of the book, a relatively recent and growing focus of scholarship, derives from the recognition of texts -- literary, scholarly, popular, practical, and more -- do not float free. Even the Internet has not changed the fact that most texts are embodied in books, material forms produced not just by authors, but by larger commercial, governmental, religious enterprises. These enterprises, in turn, are shaped by their social, economic, cultural, and technological environment. This course seeks to expand student understanding of texts by foregrounding the broader cultural context through and in which they take form. The course will cover the history of technologies of writing, paper, manuscript production, and printing, the history of literacy, education and reading, as well as the history of the book. It will be attentive to the impact of different kinds of books -- scripture, subversive writings, and consumables -- on societies and across cultures. It will consider the ways in which institutions have sought to control books. While the course is centered on the western tradition, it will include sections on non-western traditions and on the post-modern era. Prerequisite: HTY 115, HTY 116, ENG 101 and a 100-level literature course, or permission of instructor. 3 Cr
