WEBINAR

Indestructible, Destructible, and Destroyed: Nineteenth-Century Novelty Picture Books and the Embodied Child Reader

Dr Hannah Field

Wednesday 31 March 2021 (17:00-19:00)

Hosted by the Centre for Literary Editing and the Materiality of the Text at the University of Birmingham, Dr Hannah Field will present research on the material traces left by child readers in nineteenth-century picture books, asking how literary scholars should read archival evidence of ripping, tearing, and other destructive and transformative behaviours. This event will be of interest to all working on bibliography and book history, children's literature in the nineteenth century and beyond, and the history of reading.

Zoom, registration required.
