Summary "While scholars have generally focused on the eighteenth century as a 'print culture, ' this book examines a range of manuscript practices--from letter writing to note taking to recipe preparation to novel authorship--to show how handwritten texts remained central to the media environment"-- Provided by publisher
Notes "This volume originated as a double panel at the 2014 Canadian Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies annual meeting in Montreal and as the conference 'After Print: Manuscripts in the Eighteenth Century' held at the University of California, Santa Barbara, on April 24, 2015"--Acknowledgements
