This course examines the role of the book as a material object within western culture. From the print revolution in the fifteenth century to the advent of the world wide web and its fundamental alteration of society's attitude toward print, the book is at the forefront of social change and forms a convenient matrix through which the interrelations between the production and consumption of texts can be observed.
