Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups

Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups

Movable books are an innovative area of children’s publishing. Commonly equated with spectacular pop-ups movable books have a little-known history as interactive narrative media. Since they are hybrid artifacts consisting of words images and movable components they cross the borders between story toy and game. Interactive Books is a historical and comparative study of early movable books in relation to the children who engage with them. Jacqueline Reid-Walsh focuses on the period movable books became connected with children from the mid-17th to the early-19th centuries. In particular she examines turn-up books paper doll books and related hybrid experiments like toy theaters and paignion (or domestic play set) produced between 1650 and 1830. Despite being popular in their own time these artifacts are little known today. This study draws attention to a gap in our knowledge of children’s print culture by showing how these artifacts are important in their own right. Reid-Walsh combines archival research with children’s literature studies book history and juvenilia studies. By examining commercially produced and homemade examples she explores the interrelations among children interactive media and historical participatory culture. By drawing on both Enlightenment thinkers and contemporary digital media theorists Interactive Books enables us to think critically about children’s media texts paper and digital past and present. | Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups

Reading Picture Books with Infants and Toddlers Learning Through Language

Reading Picture Books with Infants and Toddlers Learning Through Language

Reading picture books with infants and toddlers facilitates their early language development with far-reaching benefits for their later reading abilities and academic achievement. While the importance of reading books with children aged from 3 to 5 years is widely recognised the benefits of reading with much younger children from 0 to 3 years who are still engaged in learning their first language are less well understood. This book will explore the seemingly simple practice of reading picture books with infants and toddlers aged 0–3 years from a range of perspectives. Not only do book-focused adult–child interactions support language and early literacy development in multiple ways such interactions can also at the same time foster intellectual social emotional and spiritual growth. By weaving together in an accessible manner the insights from several different discipline areas this book will explain how and why reading with infants and toddlers has such power to enrich their lives. Providing an evidence-based theoretically informed account Reading Picture Books with Infants and Toddlers supports educators parents and caregivers with the knowledge skills and motivation to provide frequent enjoyable and language-rich reading experiences with infants and toddlers. | Reading Picture Books with Infants and Toddlers Learning Through Language

Walter Scott's Books Reading the Waverley Novels

Walter Scott's Books Reading the Waverley Novels

Scott's Books is an approachable introduction to the Waverley Novels. Drawing on substantial research in Scott's intertextual sources it offers a fresh approach to the existing readings where the thematic and theoretical are the norm. Avoiding jargon and moving briskly it tackles the vexed question of Scott's 'circumbendibus' style head on suggesting that it is actually one of the most exciting aspects of his fiction: indeed what Ian Duncan has called the 'elaborately literary narrative' at first sight a barrier is in a sense what the novels are primarily 'about'. The book aims to show how inventive witty and entertaining Scott's richly allusive style is; how he keeps his varied readership on board with his own inexhaustible variety; and how he allows proponents of a wide range of positions to have their say using a detached ironic but never cynical narrative voice to undermine the more rigid and inhumane rhetoric. The Introduction outlines this approach and sets the book in the context of earlier and current Scott criticism. It also deals with some practical issues including forms of reference and the distinctive use of the term 'Authorial'. The four chapters are designed to zoom in progressively from the general to the particular. 'Resources' explores the printed material available to Scott in his library and gives an overview of the way he uses it in his fiction. 'Style' confronts objections to the 'circumbendibus' Scott and shows how his Ciceronian style with its penchant for polysyllables enables him to embrace a wide range of rhetoric relayed in a detached but not cynical Authorial voice. 'Strategies' explores how he keeps his very wide audience on board by a complex bonding between characters readers and Author and stresses the extraordinary variety of exuberant inventiveness with which he handles intertextual allusions. 'Mottoes' examines the most remarkable of Scott's intertextual devices the chapter epigraphs bringing i | Walter Scott's Books Reading the Waverley Novels

Nordic Latin Manuscript Fragments The Destruction and Reconstruction of Medieval Books

Nordic Latin Manuscript Fragments The Destruction and Reconstruction of Medieval Books

Much of what is known about the past often rests upon the chance survival of objects and texts. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the fragments of medieval manuscripts re-used as bookbindings in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Such fragments provide a tantalizing yet often problematic glimpse into the manuscript culture of the Middle Ages. Exploring the opportunities and difficulties such documents provide this volume concentrates on the c. 50 000 fragments of medieval Latin manuscripts stored in archives across the five Nordic countries of Denmark Finland Iceland Norway and Sweden. This large collection of fragments (mostly from liturgical works) provides rich evidence about European Latin book culture both in general and in specific relation to the far north of Europe one of the last areas of Europe to be converted to Christianity. As the essays in this volume reveal individual and groups of fragments can play a key role in increasing and advancing knowledge about the acquisition and production of medieval books and in helping to distinguish locally made books from imported ones. Taking an imaginative approach to the source material the volume goes beyond a strictly medieval context to integrate early modern perspectives that help illuminate the pattern of survival and loss of Latin manuscripts through post-Reformation practices concerning reuse of parchment. In so doing it demonstrates how the use of what might at first appear to be unpromising source material can offer unexpected and rewarding insights into diverse areas of European history and the history of the medieval book. | Nordic Latin Manuscript Fragments The Destruction and Reconstruction of Medieval Books

The Rise of the Modernist Bookshop Books and the Commerce of Culture in the Twentieth Century

The Rise of the Modernist Bookshop Books and the Commerce of Culture in the Twentieth Century

The trade in books has always been and remains an ambiguous commercial activity associated as it is with literature and the exchange of ideas. This collection is concerned with the cultural and economic roles of independent bookstores and it considers how eight shops founded during the modernist era provided distinctive spaces of literary production that exceeded and yet never escaped their commercial functions. As the contributors show these booksellers were essential institutional players in literary networks. When the eight shops examined first opened their doors their relevance to literary and commercial life was taken for granted. In our current context of box stores online shopping and ebooks we no longer encounter the book as we did as recently as twenty years ago. By contributing to our understanding of bookshops as unique social spaces on the thresholds of commerce and culture this volume helps to lay the groundwork for comprehending how our relationship to books and literature has been and will be affected by the physical changes to the reading experience taking place in the twenty-first century. | The Rise of the Modernist Bookshop Books and the Commerce of Culture in the Twentieth Century

Reading Mathematics in Early Modern Europe Studies in the Production Collection and Use of Mathematical Books

Reading Mathematics in Early Modern Europe Studies in the Production Collection and Use of Mathematical Books

Libraries and archives contain many thousands of early modern mathematical books of which almost equally many bear readers’ marks ranging from deliberate annotations and accidental blots to corrections and underlinings. Such evidence provides us with the material and intellectual tools for exploring the nature of mathematical reading and the ways in which mathematics was disseminated and assimilated across different social milieus in the early centuries of print culture. Other evidence is important too as the case studies collected in the volume document. Scholarly correspondence can help us understand the motives and difficulties in producing new printed texts library catalogues can illuminate collection practices while manuscripts can teach us more about textual traditions. By defining and illuminating the distinctive world of early modern mathematical reading the volume seeks to close the gap between the history of mathematics as a history of texts and history of mathematics as part of the broader history of human culture. | Reading Mathematics in Early Modern Europe Studies in the Production Collection and Use of Mathematical Books
