However, from the turn of the nineteenth century, developments in printing technology, the emergence of cheap publications and rising literacy levels meant that interactions between crime and print culture flourished. The four papers at this seminar will explore the ways in which crime shaped forms of writing, publishing, print distribution and reading. <a href="http://mysexclinic.com/erectile-disfunction-treatment" rel="nofollow">Erectile dysfunction medicine</a> Crime and its punishment has long been a topic which has attracted readers and filled the coffers of publishers.

]]> Comment on Biographers and Marginalia by Shafquat Towheed http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/RED/?p=83&cpage=1#comment-6 Shafquat Towheed Mon, 05 Apr 2010 17:46:30 +0000 http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/RED/?p=83#comment-6 This is an excellent article highlighting the similarities (and differences) between two women writers, their private libraries, and their own particular reading and intellectual processes. I've also had the privilege of seeing Edith Wharton's books (albeit briefly), which certainly inspired me to think of her own imaginative life differently. I didn't expect her, for example, to have read, Arthur Waley's 'A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems' (London: Constable, 1918), during the dying months of the First World War, at a time during which she was privately experimenting with the Haiku form. Conversely, I was surprised that the pages of her copy of Gaston Jollivet's famous First World War diaries, 'Trois mois de guerre' (Paris: Hachette, November 1915-January 1916), were not only unread, but uncut - despite her own acquaintance with the author and public commitment to the war effort. Wharton is a very light annotator, while Fitzgerald (according to Hermione Lee), is a much heavier and more voluble scribbler - the cost of books surely has an inversely proportional relationship to the extent of marginalia they might contain. There is still a vast amount of work to be done on writer's libraries, and the marginalia in these books. For example, Graham Greene's library (over 3,000 books in the Boston College archive) has not been systematically studied or the marginalia catalogued. I am sure there are many other writers' libraries wating to be mined. Marginal comments and marks in writer's libraries provide us with a vast (and still very underexploited) data source, which is valuable for biographers and historians of reading alike. Cheap books, heavily encrusted with marginal marks are often the least likely to be preserved for posterity - and yet these books might offer us valuable glimpses into the process of reading and the transmission of ideas. Thanks for posting this, Edmund - there's much food for thought here!
