Teaching Bibliography, Textual Criticism, and Book History


Teaching Bibliography, Textual Criticism, and Book History

400-word proposals due by April 1st.

Teaching Bibliography, Textual Criticism, and Book History will offer a variety of approaches to incorporating discussions of book history or print culture into graduate and undergraduate classrooms. TBH will consider the book as a literary, historical, cultural, and aesthetic object.

TBH will offer discussions on book history pedagogy by a variety of scholars who teach bibliography, textual criticism, or book history in a range of courses, departments, and settings.

The volume will address the following questions:
-What strategies (and materials) do teachers use to bring book history or textual criticism into the classroom?
-How do teachers define book history in their classrooms?
-How do teachers incorporate issues of authorship, reading, and publishing into the curriculum?
-What values does teaching book history bring to the classroom?
-What purposes do teachers hope to fulfill by raising such issues in their curriculum?
-Does teaching book history require teachers to reconceptualize existing courses or can it be added into existing classes effectively?
-What issues and questions do such courses raise for bibliography in particular and for the curriculum in general?
-What purpose does teaching book history in the undergraduate curriculum serve?
-What purpose does teaching book history in the graduate curriculum serve?
