Description
From ancient scrolls to digital narratives, the forms that literature takes influences how and what people write and read. This course examines the development of the book-making process and questions what a “book” is. Exploring diverse case studies from the Gutenberg Bible to Fifty Shades of Grey, this course considers books as active, social objects that can be examined in a variety of ways including traditional analysis and digital text analysis.
