Books do not just contain texts: books themselves are cultural artefacts, which convey many meanings in their own right, meanings which interact with the texts they contain. Awareness of the many significances of books as cultural and textual objects reshapes the traditional disciplines of textual theory, analytic bibliography, codicology and palaeography, while the advent of electronic books, and digital methods for representing print books, is introducing a new dimension to our understanding. Seven essays in this volume, ranging over medieval Portuguese and Swedish manuscripts, eighteenth-century Icelandic editions, Australian playtexts, Thackeray and Anita Brookner, and Stefan George, consider these questions from the broad perspective of textual scholarship. Texts may exist on the borderland of word and not-word; or they may spring from borderlands of nation or culture; or they may be considered from the margins of neighbouring disciplines. So readers must set the texts within contexts, to see the play of text against border. Essays in this volume explore different texts against varying backgrounds - Pound's Cantos , Joyce's Ulysses , Trollope's An Eye for an Eye , Woolf's The Waves - while essays by McGann and Lernout argue the dimensionality of text on the intersection of print and digital media. Implicit in all these essays is the contention, that textual scholarship must influence literary interpretation. Two final essays focus directly on this, in the cases of Melville's Moby-Dick and Emily Dickinson's late fragments. An extensive reviews section completes this volume.

The printed book caused an explosion of knowledge and major changes in the perception of texts. In investigating how knowledge was presented to the early modern reader, this volume treats both book-historical issues and the intersections of layout with issues of genre, content and function.

Entre 1840 et 1918, l’imprimé et le livre, qui avaient déjà contribué à l’élaboration de l’histoire et de l’identité du peuple canadien, deviennent désormais les médias de communication prédominants. Plus que jamais la culture de l’imprimé participe aux transformations qui métamorphoseront la colonie en véritable État, unifiant les peuples qui le composent. C’est cette synergie qui constituera l’un des aspects historiques et culturels les plus fascinants de cette période qui est au centre de ce deuxième volume de l’Histoire du livre et de l’imprimé au Canada. L’expansion du territoire canadien grâce à l’immigration massive, sa traversée par le chemin de fer et par la télégraphie renouvellent entièrement la dynamique de l’imprimé, de Terre-Neuve à Dawson City. Après 1880, l’imprimé de masse voit le jour grâce à la nouvelle technologie qui permet d’imprimer plus rapidement et à moindre coût, et grâce à la constitution de nouveaux marchés desservis par les librairies. Du missel au journal en passant par le livre de recette, le catalogue d’Eaton et l’almanach, les Canadiens sont dorénavant en contact quotidien avec cet objet matériel qu’est l’imprimé. Dans ce contexte, l’auteur émerge lentement, soutenu par un marché de distribution à l’échelle nord-américaine, par un nombre croissant de bibliothèques publiques et par des droits conquis pour la protection de son œuvre et sa diffusion.
