New Directions in Book History
As a vital field of scholarship, book history has now reached a stage of maturity where its early work can be reassessed and built upon. That is the goal of New Directions in Book History. This series will publish monographs in English that employ advanced methods and open up new frontiers in research, written by younger, mid-career, and senior scholars. Its scope is global, extending to the Western and non-Western worlds and to all historical periods from antiquity to the 21st century, including studies of script, print, and post-print cultures. New Directions in Book History, then, will be broadly inclusive but always in the vanguard. It will experiment with inventive methodologies, explore unexplored archives, debate overlooked issues, challenge prevailing theories, study neglected subjects, and demonstrate the relevance of book history to other academic fields. Every title in this series will address the evolution of the historiography of the book, and every one will point to new directions in book scholarship. New Directions in Book History will be published in three formats: single-author monographs; edited collections of essays in single or multiple volumes; and shorter works produced through Palgrave’s e-book (EPUB2) ‘Pivot’ stream. Book proposals should emphasize the innovative aspects of the work, and should be sent to either of the two series editors: Jonathan Rose is William R. Kenan Professor of History at Drew University. He was the founding president of the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing, and he is an editor of SHARP’s journal, Book History. His works include The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes, The Holocaust and the Book: Destruction and Preservation, A Companion to the History of the Book (with Simon Eliot), and, most recently, The Literary Churchill: Author, Reader, Actor. Shafquat Towheed is Lecturer in English at the Open University, UK. He is director of the Reading Experience Database, 1450–1945 (RED) project and the Open University’s Book History Research Group. He is co-editor of The History of Reading (Routledge, 2010), The History of Reading, Vol.1: International Perspectives, c.1500–1990 (Palgrave, 2011) and The History of Reading, Vol.3: Methods, Strategies, Tactics (Palgrave, 2011).
