Spectral Literacy: The Child in the Margin, Apr. 28 (AAS)
April 17th, 2006
Friday, April 28, at 4:30 p.m., Patricia Crane, professor of English at New York University, will give a lecture titled “Spectral Literacy: The Child in the Margin” at the American Antiquarian Society. Crane is the author of The Story of A: The Alphabetization of America from The New England Primer to The Scarlet Letter–a book that I was drooling over recently at a local bookstore–and her talk will discuss children’s marginalia in 19th-century books.
The lecture is sponsored by AAS, Clark University, and the University of Connecticut and is open to the public. Reservations are recommended for the lecture and required for the dinner afterwards. See the AAS website for seminar location, registration, and further information.
As a side note, now that children’s marginalia is a recognized research topic, perhaps, I can stop feeling so guilty about my own early marginalia.
