Well, here we are. We spent our Thursday afternoons together this semester, and we spent them pleasantly. All week long I looked forward to it. Like students, most teachers (me included) are happy when a class ends. Yet, I will remember this group of students as particularly tuned-in and energetic, so I'm melancholy about saying goodbye.
One thing that we've all learned is that the proper name of this class should be "An Introduction to the History of the Western Book." We have studied a slice of the field; there is so much left to study and learn. This course has provided a road map. Maybe some of you are the Elizabeth Eisenteins and Robert Darntons of the future. Onward.
