History of Material Texts Seminar Series

The first meeting this term of the seminar in the History of Material Texts will take place on Thursday 29 April 2010 at 5.30 in room SR-24 in the Faculty of English, 9 West Rd, Cambridge. All welcome.

This session will be a discussion of two recent articles and new directions in the study of material texts, particularly in the light of the recent CMT conference [see ‘Blog’ above].

The articles are:

Leah Price, ‘From the History of a Book to the “History of the Book”‘, Representations 108 (2009), 120-38

Bill Brown, ‘Obects, Others, and Us (The Refabrication of Things)’, Critical Inquiry 36 (2010), 183-207

Both articles are available online via JSTOR and LION, or via the Faculty’s CAMTOOLS site at
