BKS1002H: Book History in Practice

Required for all master's students in the BHPC Collaborative Specialization, this course develops many of the themes from BKS1001H in a seminar format. The approach of the course reflects what David Greetham calls "the disciplinary interrelatedness of all aspects of the study of the book" (Textual Scholarship: An Introduction, p. 2). The course consists of seminars on key topics in book history, punctuated by case studies of particular books, events, and debates. These case studies are designed to pull together ongoing threads of inquiry from the readings, and to allow students to work outward from specific artifacts to general questions.
