It provides fresh interpretations of fundamental works and of the vital and challenging issues emerging in English literary studies. By engaging with the materiality of the literary text, its production, and reception history, and frequently testing and exploring the boundaries of the notion of text itself, the volumes in the series question familiar frameworks and provide innovative interpretations of both canonical and less well-known works. Work in Hand. Script, Print, and Writing, 1690-1840 argues that between the late seventeenth and early nineteenth centuries manual writing was a dynamic technology. It examines script in relation to becoming a writer; in constructions of the author; and in emerging ideas of the human. Revising views of print as displacing script, "Work in hand" argues that print reproduced script, print generated script; and print shaped understandings of script. In this, the double nature of print, as both moveable type and rolling press, is crucial. During this period, the shapes of letters changed as the multiple hands of the early-modern period gave way to English round hand; the denial of writing to the labouring classes was slowly replaced by acceptance of the desirability of universal writing; understandings of script in relation to copying and discipline came to be accompanied by ideas of the autograph."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Writing $x History. 650 0 $a Printing $x History. 830 0 $a Oxford textual perspectives. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200603014447.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210024104.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=056B093E621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
