Résumé:
This book draws from the holdings of the Bruce Peel Special Collections Library at the University of Alberta, presenting an array of reader interactions with books in the form of annotations, improvements, corrections, ornamentation, and suggestive wear-and-tear. The result is a snapshot of the life of books and readers in the eighteenth century: in the British Isles and beyond, from the modestly literate users of well-thumbed dictionaries to learned critics of canonical poets and contemporary philosophers.

This collection, edited by scholars with expertise in electronic publishing and the digital humanities, focuses instead on what we might gain—how(...)
