Brown, Jennifer Nancy. Fruit of the Orchard: Reading Catherine of Siena in Late Medieval and Early Modern England. Toronto: U of Toronto, 2019.

Mss and books of S Catherine of Siena“Fruit of the Orchard sheds light on how Catherine of Siena served as a visible and widespread representa-tive of English piety becoming a part of the devotional landscape of the period. By analyzing a variety of texts, including monastic and lay, complete and excerpted, shared and private, author Jennifer N. Brown consid-ers how the visionary prophet and author was used to demonstrate orthodoxy, subversion, and heresy.

Tracing the book tradition of Catherine of Siena, as well as investigating the circulation of manuscripts, Brown explores how the various perceptions of the Italian saint were reshaped and understood by an English readership. By examining the practice of devotional reading, she reveals how this sacred exercise changed through a period of increased literacy, the rise of the printing press, and religious turmoil.”

Brown-Grant, Rosalind, e.a. Inscribing Knowledge in the Medieval Book. Medieval Institute Publications, 2020.

Paratext in manuscripts“This collection of essays examines how the paratextual apparatus of medieval manuscripts both inscribes and expresses power relations between the producers and consumers of knowledge in this important period of intellectualhistory.Itseekstodefinewhichparatextualfeatures – annotations, commentaries, corrections, glosses, images, prologues, rubrics, and titles – are common to manuscripts from different branches ofmedieval knowledge and how they function in any particular discipline. It reveals how these visual expres-sions of power that organize and compile thought on the written page are consciously applied, negotiated or resisted by authors, scribes, artists, patrons and readers. This collection, which brings together schol-ars from the history of the book, law, science, medicine, literature, art, philosophy and music, interrogates the role played by paratexts in establishing authority, con-structing bodies of knowledge, promoting education, shaping reader response, and preserving or subverting tradition in medieval manuscript culture.”

Corporality and writing“How is a body written, and in which ways can literary texts shed light on the tension between immediate bodily expressions and writing if medieval writing prac-tices compete with the new technology of printing? The present volume Escritura somática: La materi-alidad de la escritura en las literaturas ibéricas de la Edad Media a la temprana modernidad explores the relations between corporality and writing in genres and discourses that are key for understanding the phenom-enon. The Iberian perspective, including contributions on Spanish and Portuguese texts, focusses on the materiality of writing with a shared epistemic frame.”

Anderson, Lara. Control and Resistance: Food Discourse in Franco Spain. Toronto: U of Toronto, 2020.

Food writing as a political tool in Franco Spain“Control and Resistance reveals the various ways in which food writing of the early-Franco era was a potent political tool, producing ways of eating and thinking about food that privileged patriotism over personal desire.Theauthorexaminesadiverserangeofofficialandnon-officialfoodtextstohighlighthowdiscoursehelped construct and contest identities in line with the three ideological pillars of the regime: autarky, prescrip-tivegender roles,andmonolithicnationalism.Officialfood discourse produced an audience with a taste for localfoodstuffs,andalsocreatedaunifiedgastronomicspace in which regional cuisines were co-opted for the purposes of culinary nationalism.

Theauthordiscussesagenreofofficialtextsdirectedsolely at women, which demanded women’s com-pliance and exclusive dedication to domesticity. Alongside such examples, Control and Resistance includes texts that offer resistance to the Francohegemony. If the traditional view of food writing as con-nected to domesticity viewed such writing as apolitical, this book accordingly foregrounds food discourse as a place where identities were contested.”

Francomano, Emily C. The Prison of Love: Romance, Translation, and the Book in the Sixteenth Century. Toronto: U of Toronto, 2018.

Bookhistorical and literary analysis of the six-teenthg-century Spanish romance Prison of Love

“The Spanish romance Cárcel de amor blossomed into a transnational and multilingual phenomenon that captivated audiences throughout Europe at a time when literacy was expanding and print production was changing the nature of reading, writing, and of litera-ture itself.

In The Prison of Love,EmilyFrancomanooffersthefirstcomparative study of this sixteenth-century work as a transcultural, humanist fiction. Blending literary anal-ysis and book history, Francomano provides us with the richly textured history of the translations, material books, and artefacts that make this tale of love, letters, and courtly intrigue an invaluable prism through which the multifaceted world of sixteenth-century literary and book cultures are refracted.”

Kowalchuk, Kristine. Preserving on Paper: Seventeenth-Century Englishwomen’s Receipt Books. Toronto: U of Toronto, 2018.

Cookbooks and women’s writing“Apricot wine and stewed calf’s head, melancholy medi-cine and “ointment of roses.” Welcome to the cookbook Shakespeare would have recognized. Preserving on Paper is a critical edition of three seventeenth-century receipt books–handwritten manuals that included a combination of culinary recipes, medical remedies, and household tips which documented the work of women at home. Kristine Kowalchuk argues that receipt books served as a form of folk writing, where knowledge was shared and passed between generations. These texts played an important role in the history of women’s writing and literacy and contributed greatly to issues of authorship, authority, and book history. Kowalchuk’s revelatoryinterdisciplinarystudyoffersuniqueinsightsinto early modern women’s writings and the original sharing economy.”

MacLeod, Kirsten. American Little Magazines of the Fin de Siècle: Art, Protest, and Cultural Transformation. Toronto: U of Toronto, 2018.

A socio-cultural analysis of American Little Magazines

“In American Little Magazines of the Fin de Siecle, Kirsten MacLeod examines the rise of a new print media form – the little magazine – and its relation-ship to the transformation of American cultural life at the turn of the twentieth century. Though the little magazine has long been regarded as the preserve of modernist avant-gardes and elite artistic coteries, for whom it served as a form of resistance to mass media, MacLeod’sdetailedstudyofitsoriginspaintsadifferentpicture. Combining cultural, textual, literary, and media studies criticism, MacLeod demonstrates how the little magazine was deeply connected to the artistic, social, political, and cultural interests of a rising profession-al-managerialclass.Sheoffersarichlycontextualizedanalysis of the little magazine’s position in the broader media landscape: namely, its relationship to old and new media, including pre-industrial print forms, news-papers, mass-market magazines, fine press books,and posters. MacLeod’s study challenges conventional understandings of the little magazine as a genre and emphasizes the power of “little” media in a mass-mar-ket context.”

Reid, Pauline. Reading by Design: The Visual Interfaces of the English Renaissance Book. Toronto: U of Toronto, 2019.

How the early modern book reacted to philosophi-cal discussions over perception

“Renaissance readers perceived the print book as both a thing and a medium - a thing that could be broken or reassembled, and a visual medium that had the power toreflect,transform,ordeceive.Atthesamehistoricalmoment that print books remediated the visual and material structures of manuscript and oral rhetoric, the relationship between vision and perception was funda-mentally called into question.

Investigating this crisis of perception, Pauline Reid arguesthatthevisualcrisisthatsuffusesearlymodernEnglish thought also imbricates sixteenth- and seven-teenth-century print materials. These vision troubles in turn influencedhowearlymodernbooksandreadersinteracted. Platonic, Aristotelian, and empirical models of sight vied with one another in a culture where vision had a tenuous relationship to external reality. Through situating early modern books’ design elements, such as woodcuts, engravings, page borders, and layouts, as important rhetorical components of the text, Reading by Design articulates how the early modern book responded to epistemological crises of perception and competing theories of sight.”

Swift, Megan. Picturing the Page: Illustrated Children’s Literature and Reading under Lenin and Stalin. Toronto: U of Toronto, 2020.

Illustrated childrens books under Lenin and Stalin“Based on sources from rare book libraries in Russia and around the world, Picturing the Page offers avivid exploration of illustrated children’s literature and reading under Lenin and Stalin – a period when mass publishing for children and universal public educa-tionbecameavailable for thefirst time inRussia.Byanalysing the illustrations in fairy tales, classic “adult” literature reformatted for children, and war-time picture books, Megan Swift elucidates the vital and multi-faceted function of illustrated children’s literature in repurposing the past.

Picturing the Page demonstrates that while the texts of the past remained fixed, illustrations could slipbetween the pages to mediate and annotate that past, as well as connect with anti-religious, patriotic, and other campaigns that were central to Soviet children’s culture after the 1917 Revolution.”

Hack, Daniel. Reaping Something New: African American Transformations of Victorian Literature. Princeton: Princeton UP, 2017.

African-American reception of Victorian literature“Tackling fraught but fascinating issues of cultural borrowing and appropriation, this groundbreaking book reveals that Victorian literature was put to use in African American literature and print culture in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in much more intricate, sustained, and imaginative ways than previ-ously suspected. From reprinting and reframing “The Charge of the Light Brigade” in an antislavery news-papertoreimaginingDavidCopperfieldandJaneEyreas mixed-race youths in the antebellum South, writers and editors transposed and transformed works by the leading British writers of the day to depict the lives of African Americans and advance their causes. Central figures in African American literary and intellectualhistory—including Frederick Douglass, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Charles Chesnutt, Pauline Hopkins, and W.E.B. Du Bois—leveraged Victorian literature and this history of engagement itself to claim a distinctive voice and construct their own literary tradition.

Inbringingthesetransatlantictransfigurationstolight,this book also provides strikingly new perspectives on both canonical and little-read works by Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Tennyson, and other Victorian authors. The recovery of these works’ African American afterlives illuminates their formal practices and ideolog-ical commitments, and forces a reassessment of their

cultural impact and political potential. Bridging the gap between African American and Victorian literary studies, Reaping Something New changes our understanding ofbothfieldsandrewritesanimportantchapterof lit-erary history.”

“Hack not only ranges knowledgeably across but significantly advances the fields of Victorian andnineteenth-century African-American literature. . . . Withfine-grainedanalysisandarchivalresearchindis-pensable to his documentation and analysis of literary borrowing, Hack nonetheless joins forces with Book History scholars and advocates of distance reading to explore the transatlantic, cross-cultural ‘afterlives’ of Victorian texts in African-American literature.”

—Jeannine Marie DeLombard, Review of English Studies

“Reaping Something New is a special book. One leaves it with full awareness that not many critics could have written it, as it requires a deep knowledge of British Victorian texts and a full immersion into nineteenth- century American print culture and with Americanist theoryandcriticismof thetwentiethandtwenty-firstcenturies. . . . This book stands as one of our best arguments for thinking about literary traditions as intertwined and dialogic rather than separate and distinctive.”

Marshall, Amy Bliss. Magazines and the Making of Mass Culture in Japan. Toronto: U of Toronto, 2019.

Magazines and mass culture in Japan“Magazines and the Making of Mass Culture in Japan provides a detailed yet approachable analysis of the mechanisms central to the birth of mass culture in Japan by tracing the creation, production, and circulation of two critically important family magazines: Kingu (King) and Ie no hikari (Light of the Home). These magazines served to embed new instruments of mass communi-cation and socialization within Japanese society and created mechanisms to facilitate the dissemination of hegemonic formsof discourse in the first half of thetwentieth century. The amazing success of Kingu and Ie no hikari during the 1920s and 1930s not only estab-lished and normalized participation in a Japanese mass national audience – a community which had previously not existed – but also facilitated the rise of Japanese mass consumer culture in the postwar years.

Amy Bliss Marshall argues that the postwar mass national consumer in Japan is foreshadowed by the mass national audience created by family magazines of the interwar era. This book narrates the development of such publications, one explicitly capitalist and one outwardly agrarian, based on missions with an over-arching desire to create a mass audience. Magazines and the Making of Mass Culture in Japan highlights the importance of the seemingly innocuous acts of mass leisure consumption of magazines and the goods advertised therein, aiding our understanding of the cre-ation and direction of a new form of social participation



and understanding – an essential part of not only the culture but also the politics of the interwar period.”

By examining news articles and opinion pieces, as well as literary texts and photographs in the League’s numer-ous pulp magazines for homosexuals, Javier Samper Vendrell reconstructs forgotten aspects of the history of same-sex desire and subjectivity. While recognizing the possibilities of liberal rights for sexual freedom during the Weimar Republic, the League’s “respect-ability politics” failed in part because Radszuweit’s own publications contributed to the idea that homosexual men were considered a threat to youth, doing little to change the views of the many people who believed in homosexual seduction – a homophobic trope that endured well into the twentieth century.”

Wilson, Emma Annette. Digital Humanities for Librarians. Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield, 2020.

Digital Humanities for Librarians“Some librarians are born to digital humanities; some aspire to digital humanities; and some have digital humanities thrust upon them. Digital Humanities For Librarians is a one-stop resource for librarians and LIS students working in this growing new area of academic librarianship. The book begins by introducing digital humanities, addressing key questions such as, “What is it?”, “Who does it?”, “How do they do it?”, “Why do they do it?”, and “How can I do it?”. This broad overview is followed by a series of practical chapters answering those questions with step-by-step approaches to both the digital and the human elements of digital human-ities librarianship.

Digital Humanities For Librarians covers a wide range of technologies currently used in the field, from cre-ating digital exhibits, archives, and databases, to digital mapping, text encoding, and computational text analysis (big data for the humanities). However,

Yeoman, James Michael. Print Culture and the Formation of the Anarchist Movement in Spain, 1890 - 1915. New York: Routledge, 2020.

Print culture and the formation of the anarchist movement in Spain

“This book analyzes the formation of a mass anarchist movement in Spain over the turn of the twentieth century. In this period, the movement was transformed from a dislocated collection of groups and individuals into the largest organized body of anarchists in world history: the anarcho-syndicalist National Confederation of Labour (Confederación Nacional del Trabajo: CNT). At the same time, anarchist cultural practices became ingrained in localities across the whole of Spain, laying foundations which maintained the movement’s popular support until the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939.

The book shows that grassroots print culture was central to these developments: driving the develop-ment of ideology and strategy – broadly defined asterrorism, education and workplace organization – and providing an informal structure to a movement which shunned recognized leadership and bureaucracy.

This study offers a rich analysis of the cultural foun-dations of Spanish anarchism. This emphasis also

challenges claims that the movement was “exceptional” or “peculiar” in its formation, by situating it alongside other decentralized, bottom-up mobilizations across historical and contemporary contexts, from the radical pamphleteering culture of the English Civil War to the use of social media in the Arab Spring.”

Van Gulik, Egbertus, e.a. Erasmus and His Books. Toronto: U of Toronto, 2018.

Erasmus’ Library“What became of Erasmus’ books? The most famous scholar of his day died in peaceful prosperity and in the company of celebrated and responsible friends. His zeal for useful books was insatiable. Indeed, he had taken care to insure that after his death they would pass to an appreciative noble owner, yet after his death their fate was unknown.

Erasmus and His Books provides the most comprehen-sive evidence available about the books of Erasmus of Rotterdam – the books he owned and his attitude towards them, when and how he acquired them, how he housed, used, and cared for them, and how, from time to time, he disposed of them.

Part 1 details the formation, growth, scope, and arrangement of Erasmus’ library and opens the door to a new understanding of the more intimate side of his daily life as a scholar at home with his books, friends, publishers, and booksellers.

Part 2 presents a carefully annotated catalogue, the Versandliste, of the more than 400 books in Erasmus’ possession at one point. Drawing upon his command of bibliographical data and his extensive knowledge of Erasmus’ correspondence and related records

EgbertusvanGulikproposesasprecisean identifica-tion of each of the titles as the evidence will allow.

Van Gulik’s insightful discoveries tell us what can be known of books in Erasmus’ working library and how he used them and will be of interest to students of the northern Renaissance, the history of the book, and the history of learning.”

Visser-Fuchs, Livia. History as Pastime: Jean De Wavrin and His Collection of Chronicles of England. Donington: Shaun Tyas, 2018.



Jean de Wavrin’s collection of Chronicles“The Burgundian author Jean de Wavrin (c.1400-c.1477) has been known to historians for a long time but his work is usually considered derivative and of little importance. Closer study reveals that he had an inter-esting career, first serving in the Anglo-Burgundianarmy, then marrying a rich widow and settling down to a quieter life in Lille, where he composed his vast compilation of the histories of England. At the same time he became a supplier of romances to Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, and an avid collector of all kinds of books himself. A very unusual draughtsman, whom he almost uniquely patronised, was later named ‘The Wavrin master’ by art historians. Wavrin’s life as a soldier and civilian, ambassador and courtier, is here presented as fully as possible and put into context. His library and his interests are analysed and his own book, its creation, use of sources, purpose and value are dis-cussed, and its often beautifully illustrated manuscripts described and explained. The work is a major study of a neglectedmedieval chroniclerwhooffers a uniqueperspective on events in England during the Wars of the Roses and the reign of Edward IV. There is a full index and detailed appendices examining the surviving manuscripts.”

Butcher, David. The Stanbrook Abbey Press: A Bibliography and Checklist. Whittington, 1992.

The Stanbrook Abbey Press“The text gives a history of the press and the abbey, with special attention paid to the work of Dame Hildelith Cumming, the Press’s chief printer from 1956 to her death in 1991. The bibliography, which makes up most of the work, describes the Stanbrook Abbey Press’s published works from 1956-1991, giving a full interpre-tation of most of the works.”

“The community at Stanbrook began during the reli-gious strife of 17th century England when a group of women left for France to establish a community of nuns. During the French Revolution the nuns were ejected from their home at a few minutes’ notice. Four of them died during the eighteen months of harsh imprisonment in Compiegne. The remainder returned penniless to England and eventually settled in 1838 at Stanbrook in the Severn Valley.

Benedictines are expected to provide for their own needs; while in France they worked with cloth, back in England, on the suggestion of their chaplain, they took up printing on a hand press, and so the Stanbrook Abbey Press was born.

Initially the press issued books on religious topics–notably translations by the nuns themselves; but soon finepressworkemerged in theformof limitededition


short works or broadsides impeccably printed and fre-quently embellished with calligraphy.

Dame Laurentia, later Lady Abbess, counted among her correspondents such figures as George BernardShaw and Sir Sydney Cockerell. The latter in particular was tireless in his endeavours to improve printing stan-dards at Stanbrook. He provided Golden Cockerel and Kelmscott works from his own library, and managed to inspireatraditionoffinecalligraphyandappreciationfor well made printing types.

After the Second World War, the new head of the Stanbrook Abbey Press, Dame Hildelith Cumming, asked for advice on replacing the worn type. And advice was freely given by Kerrison Preston, local printer, who introduced his friend, Robert Gibbings to Stanbrook. Gibbings suggested Perpetua, a lovely face designed by Eric Gill.

The Abbess was not fond of this type, she thought it derived from a chisel rather than a pen, but it must have been obtained as some works are known printed in it, such as an edition of Christmas Lyrics in 1956: acollectionoftwelvefifteenthcenturypoemsprintedwith colour initials; a special edition on handmade paper contained hand-drawn initials.

stanbrook abbey pressBut the quest for a more suitable typeface continued and, one day, they chanced upon type designed by the famed Haarlem typographer Jan van Krimpen. It was called Cancelleresca Bastarda and was based on the clear fonts used by early print-ers. A friend of the Abbey, J. G. Dreyfus, arranged an introduction, and thus began a long correspondence between the Abbey and the typographer.

Soon fonts of Cancellersca Bastarda found their way to Stanbrook. The picture on the left shows an initial by Margaret Adams, plus the font Cancelleresca Bastarda.

In hindsight, this was the Golden Age of the Press. Books and ephemera and broadsides of the highest quality were issued, frequently with exquisite cal-ligraphed initials by Katherine Adams, Madelyn Walker or Margaret Adams, local artist friends of the Abbey who freely lent their talents.

The Stanbrook Abbey Press was at one time the oldest private press in England, and acquired an international reputation for fine printing under Dames HildelithCumming and Felicitas Corrigan.”

Collier, Patrick, Connolly, James J, Felsenstein, Frank, and Hall, Kenneth R. Print Culture Histories Beyond the Metropolis. Toronto: U of Toronto, 2017.

How print culture developed away from the large cities

“Bringing together leading scholars of literature, history, library studies, and communications, Print Culture Histories Beyond the Metropolis rejects the idea that print culture necessarily spreads outwards from capi-tals and cosmopolitan cities and focuses attention to how the residents of smaller cities, provincial districts, rural settings, and colonial outposts have produced, disseminated, and read print materials.

Too often print media has been represented as an engine of metropolitan modernity. Rather than being the passive recipients of print culture generated in city centres, the inhabitants of provinces and colonies have

acted independently, as jobbing printers in provincial Britain, black newspaper proprietors in the West Indies, and library patrons in “Middletown,” Indiana, to mention a few examples. This important new book gives us a sophisticated account of how printed materials circu-lated, a more precise sense of their impact, and a fuller of understanding of how local contexts shaped reading experiences.”

Melnikoff, Kirk. Elizabethan Publishing and the Makings of Literary Culture. Toronto: U of Toronto, 2018.

16th-century English booksellers“Elizabethan Publishing and the Makings of Literary Cultureexplores the influenceof thebook tradeoverEnglish literary culture in the decades following incor-poration of the Stationers’ Company in 1557. Through an analysis of the often overlooked contributions of bookmen like Thomas Hacket, Richard Smith, and PaulLinley,KirkMelnikoff tracks thecrucial role thatbookselling publishers played in transmitting literary texts into print as well as energizing and shaping a new sphere of vernacular literary activity.

The volume provides an overview of the full range of practises that publishers performed, including the acquisition of copy and titles, compiling, alteration to texts, reissuing, and specialization. Four case studies together consider links between translation and the travel narrative; bookselling and authorship; re-issuing and the Ovidian narrative poem; and specialization and professional drama. Works considered include Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Thévet’s The New Found World, Constable’s Diana, and Marlowe’s Dido, Queen of Carthage. This exciting new book provides both a complement and a counter to recent studies that have turned back to authors and out to buyers and printing houses as makers of vernacular literary culture in the second half of the sixteenth century.”

Marcantonio Raimondi’s etchings of Raphael


“Until the founding of the public museum in the 18th century, the works of Raphael were known to other artists almost exclusively from their transmission in etchings. Among these, the works of Raphael’s con-temporary Marcantonio Raimondi and his atelier were a critical factor in his reception. This publication exam-ines Raimondi’s graphic art as a mediator for Raphael’s work and an impetus for creative interest.”

Settler writing as a form of literary cartography“Mapping with Words re-conceptualizes settler writing as literary cartography. The topographical descriptions of early Canadian settler writers generated not only picturesque and sublime landscapes, but also verbal maps. These worked to orient readers, reinforcing and expanding the cartographic order of the emerging colonial dominion.

Drawing upon the work of critical and cultural geog-raphers as well as literary theorists, Sarah Wylie Krotz opens up important aesthetic and political dimensions of both familiar and obscure texts from the nineteenth century, including Thomas Cary’s Abram’s Plains, George Monro Grant’s Ocean to Ocean, and Susanna Moodie’s Roughing it in the Bush. Highlighting the complex territoriality that emerges from their carto-graphicaesthetics,Krotzoffersfreshreadingsofthesetexts, illuminating their role in an emerging spatial imagi-nary that was at once deeply invested in the production of colonial spaces and at the same time enmeshed in the realities of confronting Indigenous sovereignties.
