Schellenberg (Simon Fraser University) \nThis lecture will present several case studies of successful interdepend ence between the energetic and innovative London book trade of the eightee nth century and the socially networked production of writing in manuscript . Contrary to a longstanding notion that the expansion of print rendered m anuscript texts preliminary at best and obsolete at worst\, leading member s of the trade such as Robert Dodsley and Thomas Birch owed their success in part to their ability to navigate in both worlds. At the other end of t he production spectrum\, scribally oriented readers nurtured their own soc iable lives by customizing materials such as George Lyttleton’s “The S quirrels of Hagley Park\,” collected from the exploding magazine culture around them. The result was a rich and symbiotic intermedial environment in which it was possible for both old and new forms not only to survive\, but to thrive.\n\nBetty A. Schellenberg is a Professor of English at Simon Fraser University and a founding member of her department’s Print Cultu re group. Her interests in authorship\, print and scribal cultures\, liter ary sociability\, and the Bluestocking movement inform her most recent mon ograph\, Literary Coteries and the Making of Modern Print Culture (2016). Other publications include Samuel Richardson in Context\, co-edited with P eter Sabor (2017)\, an edition of Samuel Richardson’s Correspondence Pri marily on Sir Charles Grandison (1750–54) (2015)\, and The Professionali zation of Women Writers in Eighteenth-Century Britain (2005). She is curr ently embarking on a study of eighteenth-century manuscript poetry miscell anies.\n\nThis lecture is made possible by a generous endowment establishe d in 2005 by Kenneth Karmiole\, a Santa Monica antiquarian bookseller. The lecture series focuses on the book trade in England and Europe during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.\n\n\n\nImage: The Works in Verse an d Prose of William Shenstone\, esq. in Two Volumes\, with Decorations\, Wi lliam Shenstone.
