An ongoing online project of Casey Smith's MA seminar, "The History of the Western Book," at the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington DC, focusing on information, discussion, and debate about the history (and future) of scripted forms, especially the printed forms of the past five hundred years commonly referred to as books.

Readings for the 27th now in the CBH dropbox
Students, I dropped four pdfs from Victorian Periodicals Review in the dropbox to the right (look for the CBH logo). I decided to include the fourth, Barbara Onslow's "Sensationalizing Science" because the "Extant, Extinct..." essay turned out to be not what I thought it was. You're free to read it, as you are anything. But it isn't required. Do read the other three. For next week's discussion bring to class a series of questions, observations, and comments based on your reading of these three essays. How many or how few you bring is up to you, and they can be broad or narrow. You won't turn them in for a grade, but you are required to bring them to class. As always, send questions my way: csmith@corcoran.org
