| Summary: | "This collection is founded on the premise that the physical book is far from exhausted as informational medium, art object, or conceptual resource. The Unfinished Book identifies instead the many ways in which study of books-of their compounding of matter and meaning, their global travels and historical transitions, their shaping of and by new media technologies-remains unfinished business for humanist scholarship generally and literary studies in particular. Contributors investigate the book's continuing resilience as a platform for delivering information and entertainment, while they address the question-why isn't the book history? Assessing a wide variety of particular books, book-like objects, and book collections and working through two millennia of wildly variable and conflicting definitions of the book and its purposes, The Unfinished Book surveys the many things that books have been and suggests some reasons why the book's grip on the cultural imagination remains so tenacious"-- |

The Unfinished Book What accounts for the book’s continuing resilience as a platform for delivering information and entertainment? Why isn’t the book history? To help answer those questions, this collection recovers books’ long history of shape-shifting, reinvention, and repurposing. This collection is founded on the premise that the physical book is far from exhausted as informational medium, art object, or conceptual resource. The contributors to The Unfinished Book identify the many ways in which study of books—of their compounding of matter and meaning, of their global travels and historical transitions, of their shaping of and by new media technologies—remains unfinished business for humanist scholarship generally and literary studies in particular. The collection’s 32 chapters also demonstrate in tandem how much book history has to gain in turn from engaging the most vital and innovative literary-critical modes of the twenty-first century. Book studies thus intersects here with scholarship on empire, the environment, disability, and affect, as well as with work in African-American and Indigenous studies. Literary study is uniquely positioned, this collection asserts, to honor books’ distinctive ways of both meaning things and being things.
