SUMMARY:“Entered for his copy”: Reading the Stationers’ Register
DESCRIPTION:Fifteenth Kenneth Karmiole Lecture on the History of the Book T
 rade\n—given by Ian Gadd\, Bath Spa University\nThe Stationers' Register
  is one of the most consulted archival documents of the early modern perio
 d. It is also\, frankly\, one of the least understood. First established i
 n 1557 by the London Stationers' Company to record the publishing rights o
 f its members and cited in Britain's first copyright statute in 1710\, it 
 survives in an almost unbroken sequence until 1924. It played a crucial ro
 le in the development of Anglo-American copyright.\n\nThis presentation wi
 ll provide an account of the development of the Stationers' Register durin
 g the first hundred years of its existence\, describing its purpose\, its 
 procedures\, and its many idiosyncrasies. It will consider how previous sc
 holars have encountered and worked with the records\, most notably Edward 
 Arber\, whose edition of the Register up to 1640 remains a standard refere
 nce tool. It will also explain how a new digital project\, Stationers' Reg
 ister Online\, aims to transform our understanding of how early modern “
 copyright” worked by creating the first publicly available database of t
 he copy-entries recorded in the Stationers’ Register.\n\nIan Gadd is a P
 rofessor of English Literature at Bath Spa University\, and the Academic D
 irector of the Global Academy of Liberal Arts (GALA)\, an international ne
 twork of universities founded by Bath Spa in 2014. He is a General Editor 
 of the Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jonathan Swift\, and was a volume
  editor for The History of Oxford University Press (2013–17). He is a pa
 st president of SHARP (the Society for the History of Authorship\, Reading
 \, and Publishing). He wrote his Oxford D.Phil. on the Stationers' Company
 \, has taught courses on the Stationers' Company at Rare Book School\, and
  is currently editing Liber A\, the only major early modern record in the 
 Company's archive that has not yet been published.\n\nThis lecture is made
  possible by a generous endowment established 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 ce
 nturies.\n\nThere is no charge for this event. Advance booking is requeste
 d.
