SUMMARY:Typodiversity 01: exploring the Arabic script world
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: The full programme for the two day event on 3 & 4 November is available here. \nCBCP is collaborating with Typodiversity\, an open\, participatory event series combining talks and workshops on the intersection of research and practice in typography and type design. Our agenda raises issues of agency\, resource\, representation\, and inclusion in the development of environments for authoring\, design\, and distribution. We aim to place informed\, representative narratives at the heart of discourse. \nWe intend that each event adapts to the environment in which it is held\, shaped by the team and hosting location. There are two conditions for Typodiversity events: 1) that they are run with as little expenditure as possible\, taking advantage of institutional resources; and 2) that the recorded content of the talks and workshops will be openly and freely accessible. \nWe prioritise a hybrid online format to minimise the impact of travel and attendance costs\, visa hurdles\, legal limitations\, and time zone differences. While we recognise that English functions as a shared language for global scholarship and exchange\, we aim to actively support other languages as an alternative. To achieve this\, we ask presenters to provide a video of their presentation in advance\, so that subtitles can be added: English presentations will have subtitles in the relevant second language of the event\, and vice versa. We are starting this initiative with only one pair of languages to gain experience of time and effort required\, and aim to extend to more languages as we grow. To facilitate real-time Q&A sessions and open conversation rooms\, we aim to provide interpreters for real-time translation. \nThe first event will take place at the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication\, University of Reading (UK)\, on the 3rd & 4th November 2023\, on the theme of “exploring the Arabic script world.” Talks\, speakers and workshops will be announced shortly. Please follow us on Twitter and Instagram for updates and to stay connected. \nhttps://twitter.com/typodiversity \nhttps://www.instagram.com/typodiversity/

SUMMARY:Publishing Anti-fascism\, CBCP annual conference\, 11-12 September 2023
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to announce the Provisional Programme for our conference on Publishing Anti-fascism. \nThis international conference will bring together scholars of anti-fascist publishing activity in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries\, from any linguistic or geographical context. Our aim is to broaden the understanding of anti-fascist publishing by drawing attention to previously neglected publications\, publishers\, and perspectives – from Europe and beyond.   \nDespite the frequent focus on national contexts\, much anti-fascist publishing was transnational in scope. While refugees from fascism crossed borders from one country to another\, their anti-fascist texts could appear around the world in multiple translations simultaneously. In the 1930s and 40s\, global institutions such as the Communist International and the British Ministry of Information (responsible for propaganda across the whole of the British Empire)\, gave many anti-fascist texts a truly world-wide reach.  \nSince the end of the Second World War\, anti-fascism has not become superfluous as a movement although it is often misunderstood. As Braskén\, Featherstone and Copsey have argued\, ‘political myths and misrepresentations of anti-fascist histories are constantly used in contemporary debates’ (Anti-fascism in a global perspective\, 2021). Whilst taking a broad approach to the history and legacy of anti-fascist publishing\, this conference seeks to fully contextualise these activities in order to understand to what degree they still offer a counterpoint to today’s political right. After all\, as Bill V. Mullen and Christopher Vials have pointed out\, the USA’s anti-fascist tradition goes back to the 1920s\, long before the existence of Antifa (The US Antifascism Reader\, 2020).  \nThough we hope to expand current knowledge of European anti-fascist publishing history and practice\, this conference also welcomes contributions which look beyond a white European setting\, perhaps exploring the intersections of anti-fascism\, anti-racism\, and anti-colonialism in publishing cultures. For instance\, in 1933\, after Nazis ransacked his offices and deported him to England\, the Black pan-Africanist journalist George Padmore argued in an editorial for his communist publication\, The Negro Worker\, that ‘fascism is the greatest danger which confronts not only the white workers\, but is the most hostile movement against [black people].’ He also drew an explicit comparison between the Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan\, writing that “the fascists in Germany are preaching race hatred and advocating lynch law” (The Negro Worker vol. 3\, no. 4-5 [Apr-May 1933]). Yet these historical parallels and continuities are often overlooked in discussions of anti-fascist history.  \nWe are excited to offer two additional events as part of the conference. One is a screening of Steve Hatton’s 2011 documentary film\, Heilig\, about the Austrian anti-Nazi journalist Bruno Heilig\, and his son\, Gerhard\, who came to England as a refugee on the Kindertransport. The film will be introduced by a talk by the filmmaker. The other is a tour of Reading University’s collection of anti-fascist Spanish civil war posters\, housed by the Department of Typography and Graphic Communication.  \nThe conference will be hosted by the University of Reading’s Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing\, and will take place in Reading. Virtual attendance will also be possible\, as the conference will take a hybrid form. There will be minimal or no cost for attendance.  \nOrganising committee at the University of Reading: Ali Brown\, Dr Sophie Heywood\, Prof Daniela La Penna\, Dr Ellen Pilsworth\, Dr Marta Simo-Comas\, Dr Nicola Wilson\, Dr Ute Wölfel. \nImage credit: Wisconsin Historical Society\, Image ID: 14802.

SUMMARY:Bookshops Online and On the High Street
DESCRIPTION:The 2nd Annual Bookselling Research Network Conference\, in association with the Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing\, 3rd-4th July 2023 at the University of Reading\, UK. \nTo register for in-person attendance\, please go to event store here. \nJeff Deutsch\, in his recent In Praise of Good Bookstores\, reflected that because “we no longer need bookstores to buy books…bookstores might well be an inefficient and inconvenient way to buy books in the twenty-first century.” Yet\, as he goes on to show\, and the industry seems to confirm\, “good bookstores” are evident everywhere. The second annual Bookselling Research Network conference looks to discuss both the impact of bookshops in an era of online retailing and how booksellers\, the book trade\, and book-reading communities use online environments to return people back to the bookshop – wherever in the world these might be. What are the affordances\, pitfalls\, and challenges of bookselling in a digital era? What innovative\, unique\, or era-defying practices are evident and thriving? How have changes in bookselling affected literary production and reception? What cultural or political concerns remain prevalent for booksellers? What does it mean to operate a bookshop today? \nSchedule\nMonday\, 03 July \nLondon Road Campus\, University of Reading \n11:00-11:30 Registration & welcome (room G03) Coffee \n11:30-13:00 PANEL 1: Bookshop Profiles (room G07)\nChair: Nicola Wilson (University of Reading)\n* Sarah Pyke (Institute of English Studies\, University of London) “Literary and Extraliterary Reading at Gay’s the Word bookshop”\n* Andrew Thacker (Nottingham Trent University) “Conversation and Daily Liveliness: City Lights Bookstore”\n* Peter Willis (Coventry University) “The Bookplace: Community Bookselling and Publishing in Peckham 1977-1994” \n13:00-13:45 Lunch (room G03) \n13:45-15:15 PANEL 2: Independent Booksellers (room G07)\nChair: Matthew Chambers (University of Reading)\n* Lanora Jennings (Princeton University Press) “A Store of Her Own: The History and Legacy of Women-Owned Bookstores in America”\n*Aditi Kumar & Charlie Richards (Bookbag\, Exeter) “Independent Bookshops in the Publishing Marketplace: In Conversation With Bookbag”\n* Louise O’Hare (London Bookshop Map) “Interrogating the “Halo” Effect of Independent Bookshops – Mapping Cultural Ecosystems and Interdependencies” \n15:15-15.30 Break \n15:30-16:30 Presentation and exhibition of Bookseller Documents (Special Collections) \n18:00-19:00 \nBooksellers’ Panel (At Fourbears Books\, Caversham)\nModerator: Philip Jones (Editor\, The Bookseller)\nPanelists: Emma Corfield-Walters (Book-ish)\, Alex Forbes (Fourbears Books)\, Eben Muse (Parnassus Book Service) \n  \nTuesday\, 04 July \n9:30-11:00 PANEL 3: Bookselling: Other Spaces\, Concepts (room G07)\nChair: Eben Muse\n* John Rigney (Second Reader Books) “A Moving Collection: Books\, Friends and Poetry at the Second Reader Bookshop”\n*Pritha Mukherjee (University of Reading) “‘Pirated’ Boi Bajaar in Kolkata: Books that Sell”\n*Samantha Rayner (University College London) “Penguin Books and Penguin Bookselling: A ‘Quiet Radicalism’” \n11:00-11:15 Break (room G03) \n11:15-12:15 Keynote Address: Corinna Norrick-Rühl (University of Münster)\n“Bücher & Books: Cross-Lingual Bookselling in German Bricks-and-Mortar Bookstores” \n12:15-13:00 Lunch (room G03) \n13:00-14:30 PANEL 4: Algorithms and Bookselling (room G07) \nChair: Samantha Rayner (University College London) \n*Anna Muenchrath (Appalachian State University) “Selling Books with Algorithms”\n*Nayantara Srinivasan (University of Münster) “Digital Bookselling and ‘Independent Bookstore Activism’ in India”\n*David Piovesan (Lyon 3 University) “Bookshops in Europe: The Era of Digital Competition” \n14:30-14:45 Break (room G03) \n14:45-15:15 Closing remarks/open discussion (room G07) \nWe are holding the conference in-person at the University of Reading\, but we can make accommodations if you are unable to join us there.

SUMMARY:Author event: Kit de Waal in conversation - in person/hybrid event
DESCRIPTION:In conversation with Shelley Harris\, Creative Writing programme director\, Kit will be discussing her writings – both fiction and memoir – and the impact she’s had in making publishing a better place for working-class writers. This is an in person/hybrid event. \nKit de Waal is a multi-award-winning author of short stories\, novels\, and an autobiography. My Name is Leon (2016)\, her first novel\, was shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award\, longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize and won the Kerry Group Irish Novel of the Year Award. It was recently televised by the BBC\, with a cast including Christopher Eccleston and Sir Lenny Henry\, who also voiced the audiobook. \nKit has a passion for getting diverse voices heard. She used some of her author advance to set up the Kit de Waal Creative Writing Scholarship at Birkbeck to help improve working-class representation in the arts. It is dedicated to supporting a budding writer from a low-income household or other marginalized backgrounds. In its first year it attracted 138 applicants: this in turn\, attracted other donations which has enabled the funding of additional scholarships. \nShe is the editor of Common People: An Anthology of Working-Class Writers (2019)\, the result of a project with Unbound and regional writing development organisations to feature working-class writers: this also involved mentoring and supporting new writers. \nHer autobiography Without Warning & Only Sometimes – Scenes from an Unpredictable Childhood published in 2022 and was a Book of the Week on BBC Radio 4. The Guardian described it as ‘A richly observed portrait of a working-class childhood and adolescence that finds magic in the mundane’. \nThis is a free in person/hybrid event but everyone attending (whether in person or online) will require a ticket from Eventbrite: click here for in person; click here for online. \nQuestions for Kit are welcome but we request they are submitted in advance by email to cbcp@reading.ac.uk by Monday 24th April\, please.

SUMMARY:Esmaeil Haddadian-Moghaddam\, 'Cold Books in Hot Lands: Public and Academic Discourse on Franklin Book Programs (1952-1978)'
DESCRIPTION:This online seminar will be presented by Esmaeil Haddadian-Moghaddam\, recently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions research fellow at the Universiteit Leiden\, Netherlands. \nThis event is free and open to all. To register for the zoom link\, click here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/424960617647 \nThe various activities of the Franklin Book Programs\, an American Cold War cultural diplomacy initiative for the development of indigenous publishing in the developing world and winning hearts and minds have been subject to public and academic query since its foundation in 1952. Reports and surveys of its activities\, aims and objectives\, and achievements have been featured in both American and non-American press\, from The New York Times\, Publishers Weekly to The Pakistan Observer and Al-Bilad. To exemplify the discourse\, I present the story of how Franklin/New York convinced a young professor to put aside his paper but encouraged and supported the publication of another piece by a graduate student. Almost half a century later\, I am asking the-now-retired-but-distinguished professor why did he oblige. This should shed some light on how Franklin/New York acted as a gatekeeper and promotor of a certain take on its operation. \nEsmaeil Haddadian-Moghaddam is an independent researcher. He was until recently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions research fellow at Universiteit Leiden\, Netherlands. His recent research has focused on the cultural Cold War with a focus on the activities of Franklin Book Programs in the Middle East (Coldbihot). He is the author of Literary Translation in Modern Iran: A Sociological Study (2014). He is also a managing editor of the Journal of World Literature.

SUMMARY:Eric Kindel\, 'Stencil work: scenes and themes'
DESCRIPTION:This event is free for all. Join us in Room T4 in the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication at the University of Reading. To join via Zoom register here. \nThis talk will survey scenes and themes of stencil work spanning six centuries\, discussing and illustrating the surprising variety of uses to which stencils have been put in the production of graphic and textual documents\, marks\, and messages. Drawing on more than twenty years of research\, the talk will explore aesthetic\, technical\, social\, entrepreneurial\, regulatory\, and linguistic dimensions of stencil work\, presenting scenes that are hybrid and in-between and themes that are perennial and therefore historically durable. Among the scenes will be so-called stencil “incunabula”\, stencil work typical of France\, Britain\, and the USA\, the multilingual complexities of stencil terminology\, and the conundrum of stencil type and typefaces. On show will be early “cut work”\, magnificent books made in monastic and secular ateliers\, stencils cut by known makers and anonymous ones\, depictions of stencil work across the centuries\, large-scale stencil advertisements\, ingenious stencil devices\, and much more. The ensemble will be delivered as a sequence of visual and verbal evidence to build a synoptic presentation of this attractive domain of graphic communication. \nProf Eric Kindel is the Professor of Graphic Communication at the University of Reading. His staff profile\, includes links to publications and talks. \nExample publications: \nStencil: a descriptive bibliography  \nDelight of men and gods: Christiaan Huygens’s new method of printing  \nPatents progress: the Adjustable Stencil \nExample talks: \nObjet-type\, the French stencil letter \nStencilled posters in Paris in the nineteenth century (with Pierre Pané-Farré) \nUpper right image courtesy of St Bride Library\, London.

SUMMARY:Objects made of letters: Concrete poetry in Britain\, 1963–75
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition curated by Rick Poynor at the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication \nOpen by appointment until 28 March 2023. Please contact Emma Minns for an appointment. \nBased on material from the collection of the late Andrew Belsey\, philosophy lecturer\, concrete poet and MA graduate from Typography & Graphic Communication\, “Objects made of letters” explores and illustrates concrete poetry in its heyday. The experience of a concrete poem is always visual\, the meaning – in the absence of conventional poetic imagery and syntax – often elusive. The exhibition provides a survey of key publications and illuminating examples\, and focuses on the output of three significant figures: Dom Sylvester Houédard\, Bob Cobbing and John Furnival. \nCurated by Rick Poynor\, with assistance from Eric Kindel\, Emma Minns and Geoff Wyeth.

SUMMARY:Valeria Illuminati\, Roberta Pederzoli\, and Beatrice Spallaccia\, 'The G-Book Project. Literature for children and YAs from a gender perspective: literary and translation issues'
DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of the CBCP and Outside in World Webinar series on Children’s Literature and Translation and is open to all. To register to join us via Zoom click here. \nSpeakers: Valeria Illuminati\, Roberta Pederzoli\, and Beatrice Spallaccia (University of Bologna\, MeTRa Centre – Research Centre on Mediation and Translation by and for Children and Young Adults)  \nThe CBCP x OIW webinar series is delighted to welcome a team of speakers from the European G-Book projects. The projects G-BOOK 1 and 2 (Gender Identity: Child Readers and Library Collections and European teens as readers and creators in gender-positive narratives) aim to promote gender positive children’s and young adult literature in terms of roles and models\, a literature that is open-minded\, plural\, varied\, free from stereotypes\, and that encourages respect and diversity. The first part of the webinar will develop a critical-theoretical reflection on literature for children and young adults from a gender perspective and on its translation. In particular\, we will discuss: \n\ngender representations and stereotypes\nfamilies\nmale and female characters\nLGBTQ+ issues\nand the G-BOOK European projects.\n\nThe second part will explore case studies of LGBTQ+ themed illustrated books in English and French translated into Italian. We will analyze both the paratext and the text itself\, showing how in the transfer from one language and culture to another there are some shifts and changes\, which are not necessarily questionable\, but however present the source text in a new light and produce a different effect on the target reader.

SUMMARY:Catherine Butler\, 'Studio Ghibli and British Children’s Literature in Japan'
DESCRIPTION:This talk is part of the CBCP and Outside in World Webinar series on Children’s Literature and Translation.  \nJoin us online to hear Catherine Butler (Cardiff) talking about ‘Studio Ghibli and British Children’s Literature in Japan’.  \nThis event is free and open to all. To register for the Zoom link\, click here. \nHayao Miyazaki has had a lifelong interest in British children’s literature\, and an influential role in popularising it in Japan\, notably through the animations he created at Studio Ghibli. In this talk I will discuss some aspects of that contribution\, and that of directors whom Miyazaki directly influenced\, especially his protogé\, Hiromasa Yonebayashi. But I will also ask two questions: why does Hayao Miyazaki\, who loves British children’s books and has adapted several\, never used Britain as a setting? And what are the consequence of taking a story from one setting and medium and putting it into another? \nCatherine Butler is Reader in English Literature at Cardiff University. Her academic books include Four British Fantasists (2006)\, Reading History in Children’s Books (with Hallie O’Donovan\, 2012) and Literary Studies Deconstructed (2018)\, and several edited collections. Her latest book\, British Children’s Literature in Japanese Culture: Wonderlands and Looking-Glasses\, is due to be published by Bloomsbury in 2023. She has also published six novels for children and teenagers. Catherine is Editor-in-Chief of Children’s Literature in Education.

SUMMARY:Spaces of Translation: European Magazine Cultures\, c. 1945-1965
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andrew Thacker (Nottingham Trent) and Alison E. Martin (Mainz/Germersheim) \nThis research seminar is free and open to all. Join us in person in the Edith Morley Building\, Room G74. To join via Zoom\, register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/428120508967  \nIn this project we study a small constellation of literary and cultural magazines from three countries and language areas – Britain\, France and Germany – in order to consider how\, through translation\, they explore and construct notions of European identity in the period following from the end of World War Two to the mid-1960s. Rapid shifts towards decolonisation\, the Americanisation of European culture\, the rise of anti-militarism and the strategic and ideological conflicts instigated by the Cold War all stimulated an ongoing reassessment of what the European idea stood for and whether or how it might be achieved. Using the notion of periodicals as ‘European spaces’\, the project addresses how periodical culture in Britain\, France\, and Germany used translation to reconfigure a vision for Europe after the catastrophe of World War Two. As The Gate/Das Tor declared in 1947\, art\, music and literature were ‘not the property of one nation alone’ and that ‘a deeper understanding of our cultural ties with Europe is a surer way to international friendship than political treaties’. But what exactly was the significance of the translation of works of poetry\, fiction\, criticism\, and non-fiction in this period? How did translated texts operate as vehicles for the forging of new European identities? And how did the crossing of linguistic boundaries produce alliances across national borders? \n

SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Women Who Invented Twentieth-Century Children’s Literature
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hybrid in-person/online event to mark the publication of The Women Who Invented Twentieth-Century Children’s Literature: Only the Best (Routledge: Children’s Literature and Culture Series)\, by Elizabeth West\, CBCP Early Career Research Fellow.  \nThis event is free and open to all. Join us in the Edith Morley Building\, Room G44\, to be followed by drinks at Park House. To register for the Zoom link\, click here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/424176642757  \nPublishing for children between 1930 and 1960 has been denigrated as a relatively fallow period for creativity and quality\, certainly in comparison with the ‘golden ages’ of children’s literature that preceded and succeeded it. This book questions this perception by using archival evidence to argue that the work of what was predominantly a female group of editors\, illustrators\, authors and librarians (collectively referred to as bookwomen) resulted in many titles which are still considered as ‘classics’ today. The bookwomen reframed ideas about how children’s publishing should be approached and valued and\, in doing so\, laid the foundations for a subsequent generation of children’s authors and publishers who were to achieve far greater prominence. The key to the success of the bookwomen was their willingness to experiment\, the strength of their relationships\, and their comprehensive understanding of the book production process. By focusing on a selection of women working across all aspects of the book production process\, this book demonstrates that\, both individually and collectively\, women capitalised on their position as ‘other’ to the existing male institutions. \n

SUMMARY:A Room of One's Own on the High Street: Women and Personal Bookshops\, 1916-1939
DESCRIPTION:Dr Matt Chambers\, CBCP Research Fellow\n\n\nThis research seminar is free and open to all. Join us in person in the Edith Morley Building\, Room G74. To join via Zoom\, register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/423971097967 \n\n\nFrom 1916 onwards\, a new form of bookselling became progressively more visible. Variously labelled “personal bookshops” or “bookshop salons\,” small bookselling businesses\, opened and operated often by women\, offered a different kind of retail experience. Stock was tailored to fit a certain theme or vision; the shop was imagined as a social space and could hold events; the owners would publish books\, periodicals\, and pamphlets which became synonymous with the shop; and in general\, the bookshop became the centre of a literary or political community. In reviewing The Sunwise Turn and the Harlem People’s Book Shop (New York City)\, as well as Bermondsey Books and Collet’s (London)\, and Shakespeare and Company and Les Maison des Amis des Livres (Paris)\, I will discuss how more than just a notable demographic shift\, these women-led bookshops represented a change in what was possible in book retail\, and permanently altered the bookselling landscape in the early twentieth century.

SUMMARY:Poetry Workshop at Reading Central Library: Embodied Imagery with Golnoosh Nourpanah
DESCRIPTION:Part of ‘Class in Publishing and Print’ \n‘Her hair was like golden sunlight.’  ‘The child was quiet as a mouse.’  ‘He was caught red-handed.’ \nHow many times have you been put off by a clichéd image\, simile\, or metaphor like these examples? Good poems make readers feel something rather than just impart information. This is not always easy as unlike other artforms\, in poetry\, language is the primary medium. How can we make the familiar seem fresh\, embodied\, and authentic? How can we use language in a way to have the maximum effect on the reader\, to make the reader feel something and think for themselves\, rather than just telling them what to think? Learn to make the readers visualise your poems. Let them feel your words\, not just hear them. \nIn this workshop we learn to create images that are authentic and unique to us\, with just our use of language. In this workshop\, we learn how to avoid reproducing clichés and create images that are strong\, memorable\, and authentic. \nThis is a free event\, but places are limited. Click here to book your ticket. \nBio: \n  \nGolnoosh Nourpanah is a published poet\, prose writer\, and lecturer. In 2019\, she earned a PhD in Literature and Creative Writing from Birkbeck\, University of London. Golnoosh has authored two poetry collections and a short story collection\, which was shortlisted for the Polari Prize 2021. She has taught creative writing at Birkbeck\, UEL\, the Poetry School\, the University of Bedfordshire\, the University of Reading and Westminster\, and she’s performed her poetry in literature festivals and events across the UK and internationally.

SUMMARY:Leverhulme Lecture: The Arcade in Arcadia -  Thomas Bewick\, Children’s Books\, and Rural Readers in Enlightenment England
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Kristin Bluemel\, Leverhulme Visiting Professor at Newcastle University\, as she explores the work of eighteenth-century artist\, writer\, and naturalist Thomas Bewick. This talk will explore the ways in which Bewick’s illustrations and the appeal of his work to children were fundamental in establishing nineteenth-century ideas of the rural. Famous for wood engraved books of natural history—especially the two volume A History of British Birds—Bewick won the hearts of children with his tail-pieces (“tale-pieces”) of rural life\, which appeared in the white spaces at the ends of his book chapters. The talk will be accompanied by a short tour led by Curator of MERL Collections\, Dr Ollie Douglas.  \nProfessor Bluemel’s Leverhulme project puts the rural back at the heart of our thinking about culture\, and develops the emerging\, interdisciplinary field of ‘rural humanities’.  \nBewick’s work invites us to consider how people in the past cared for their natural and human heritage. It highlights the importance of creativity in shaping how we respond to a changing world. \nThis event is a collaboration between CBCP and the Museum of English Rural Life. It will take place at the MERL. Registration is free and open to all\, but spaces are limited. Please register here. \n \nImage: Thomas Bewick vignette at the end of the introduction to “The Predatory Gulls” section in A History of British Birds\, Vol. II\, Water Birds\, first published 1804. Child readers would have noticed the lost hat\, whose replacement will take more out of the damp traveller’s pocket than any toll. This image is from the 1826 edition\, p. 228.

SUMMARY:Class in Publishing and Print: ceilings\, inequalities\, diversities
DESCRIPTION:CBCP Annual Conference \nThis conference at the University of Reading brings together academics\, writers\, publishers and agents to explore the relationships between publishing genres\, printing\, national and regional diversity\, readers\, business decisions and social class. \nRegistration is free but places are limited and will be available on a first come\, first served basis. Click here to book your place. \nKeynote Speakers: \n\nProfessor Katy Shaw\, Northumbria University\nLisa Blower\, author\nNatasha Carthew\, writer and founder of Working Class Writers Festival\nEmma Shercliff\, literary agent\nProfessor Dave O’Brien\, University of Sheffield\n\nSocial class has long been a barrier for writers from working-class backgrounds to getting into print. From D. H. Lawrence to James Kelman\, Buchi Emecheta to Pat Barker\, working-class writers have been told to edit and revise dialect\, style and characters to get their work published in the literary mainstream. \nThanks to austerity policies and the erosion of the welfare state\, barriers to entry in the creative industries are higher than ever (see Panic! Social Class\, Taste and Inequalities in the Creative Industries by Brook\, O’Brien and Taylor\, 2018). Prompted by today’s inequalities and the systemic barriers to entry in the cultural and creative industries\, interest in contemporary working-class writing is at a high and publishers are trying to address the “class ceilings” and regional biases in their own workforces. \nThe conference will take place in-person with one online panel. Please note that the schedule is subject to change according to University COVID-19 guidance and advice. We will inform all speakers and attendees of any changes in advance of the conference as soon as possible. \nFor the full programme and further details see here: Class in Publishing and Print Conference Document_NW BEST (1) \n

SUMMARY:Conference - Inside and Outside Modernism: An Anatomy of 1922 and its Cultures
DESCRIPTION:Monday 28th March 2022 \n“James Joyce is quite wrong headed. Anyhow\, with his wilfulness\, he has made novel reading into a fair imitation of penal servitude…” (ARNOLD BENNETT on ULYSSES) \nKeynote Speakers: Professor Patrick Collier (Ball State University)\, Dr Beci Carver (University of Exeter) \nThis one-day conference intends to examine 1922 looking at the cultures and writers associated with this significant year\, in all their forms and geographical spread. It will consider the year holistically\, considering cultural and personal interactions and how they relate to the intellectual work of modernism. The conference is designed to bring the year into clearer focus with interdisciplinary contributions from politics\, history\, science\, economics\, music\, literature\, book history and visual culture and areas that have fallen outside the purview of traditional modernism. Some questions the conference would like to approach include: how has modernism impacted on the study of artistic cultures? How far did recent history shape social attitudes? How did the political and economic uncertainties in 1922 permeate different cultures? Was 1922 important for anything more than modernism itself? \nPanels: \n\nEphemeral Modernism\nPoetry and Performance\nHigh Modernism\nPublishing and Trade\n\nOther highlights include: \n\nUniversity of Reading Special Collection and Archive exhibition of materials\nThe Handheld Press will showcase a selection of texts for attendees to browse and purchase on the day\n\nThe conference will take place in-person at the University of Reading\, London Road Campus\, with some blended panels. Please note that the schedule is subject to change according to University COVID-19 guidance and advice. We will inform all speakers and attendees of any changes in advance of the conference as soon as possible. \nRegistration is free but places are limited and will be available on a first come\, first served basis.
