DESCRIPTION:The Interacting with Print Research Group\nPresents:\n‘Interact
 ions of Script and Print in the Nineteenth\nCentury’\nThe nineteenth centu
 ry witnessed an explosion of printed matter\nin Europe\, as new technologi
 es such as the steam press and new\ndistribution infrastructures such as t
 he railway produced and\ncirculated printed books in unprecedented numbers
 .  But\nmanuscript was not simply superseded by print.  Manuscript\ntexts 
 circulated alongside printed matter and intersected with it\nin a variety 
 of ways.  Mounted in conjunction with the seminar\n‘British Romanticism an
 d the Survival of Manuscript Culture’ led by\nProf Michelle Levy (Simon Fr
 aser)\, this exhibition traces some of\nthose interactions.  Poets circula
 ted works in manuscript\nbefore having them printed and readers remixed pr
 int culture by\ncreating scrapbooks that were part print and part script.
 \nHandwritten commonplace books imitated the layout of printed pages\nand 
 printed texts included facsimiles of handwriting or typefaces\nthat imitat
 ed manuscript.  Readers marked the margins of their\nbooks\, and gift book
 s included presentation pages\, which encouraged\nreaders to write in the 
 book.  Displayed together\, the\nmanuscript and printed texts in this exhi
 bition survey a\nnineteenth-century media ecology in which script and prin
 t fed off\neach other in unexpected ways\, generating new cultural\npossib
 ilities through their mutual interactions.\n
