E-Books →The Material Culture of Writing

The collection features scholars across the disciplines-such as art, art history, English, museum studies, and writing studies-who work as teachers, historians, museum curators/conservators, and faculty. Each chapter features methods and questions from contributors' own disciplines while at the same time speaking to writing studies' interest in writers, writing identity, and writing practice. The authors in this volume also work with a variety of methodologies, including literary analysis, archival research, and qualitative research, providing models for the types of research possible using a material culture studies framework. The collection is organized into three sections-Writing Identity, Writing Work, Writing Genre-each with a contextualizing introduction from the editors that introduces the chapters themselves and imagines possible directions for writing studies research facilitated by material culture studies.
