- More about The Double Life of Books: Making and Re-Making the Reader
The Double Life of Books explores the elusive process of inner appropriation through two voices, challenging the history of reading and academic professionalization.
Format: Hardback
Length: 264 pages
Publication date: 31 July 2024
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press
The Double Life of Books is a groundbreaking work that tackles a fundamental challenge in the history of reading: how to explore and describe the elusive process of "inner appropriation." It achieves this by bringing together two distinct perspectives: that of the "ordinary reader" who began their journey as a fan of Dr. Seuss's The Cat in the Hat, and that of the literature professor who writes about the history of media and reading. Spanning world literatures in English since the 1890s and drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, The Double Life of Books is a multifaceted endeavor that examines the nature of being a living reader in our multimedia age. It also serves as a profound reflection on academic professionalization, posing new questions about the boundaries of disciplinarity and critique.
