Course Description

Books are composed not merely of concepts, for they are material objects whose forms, functions, and value can vary widely. We will make extensive use of rare editions at the John Hay Library to help us explore not only the literary content of works but also their production and dissemination in various formats and for various audiences. Authors include Shakespeare, Irving, Poe. Enrollment limited to 15.
