In Stranded Encyclopedias, 1700–2000: Exploring Unfinished, Unpublished, Unsuccessful Encyclopedic Projects, fourteen scholars delve into the archives to challenge the conventional narrative of modern encyclopedism. Rather than solely focusing on successful publications and renowned compilers, they explore encyclopedic endeavors that met with failure. By examining script, print, and digital cultures in tandem, the volume highlights the numerous challenges encountered by those seeking comprehensive knowledge over the past three hundred years. By introducing the concepts of "stranded" and "strandedness," the book offers an analytical framework for examining aspects often overlooked in histories of encyclopedias, books, and learning. These include unpublished works, unfinished projects, incomplete knowledge, unsuccessful dissemination, and outdated information. By exploring these dimensions in a fresh and innovative manner, this book holds immense value for scholars interested in the history of encyclopedism, lexicography, the history of knowledge, language, and ideas, as well as the history of books, writing, translation, and publishing.
