Blog #6

Before you complete this blog, please watch this lecture on Digital Book History:

After you’re done, please write a short blog responding to the following:

  1. Based on what you watched, how would you define “digital book history”? Please use quotes from the video where appropriate.
  2. What kinds of digital approaches to the study of the book are you most drawn to, and why?
  3. What did you make of Trettien’s terminology for explaining the studies in digital book history?
  4. Finally, reflect on your own early plans for your final project. By now, you should have at least a couple of choices for what primary source(s) you’re working with. List what text/materials you’re considering for the project, and why

All blogs are due before midnight the day before class (Tuesday). Aim to respond to at least 2 peers before class begins (~5:30pm) so we can be ready for engaging discussion.
