“Disseminated and Re-circulated: Popular Culture in Script and Print”
Looking at diverse forms of script and print, from bestsellers and children’s books to scrapbooks, educational ephemera and civic documents, this colloquium will examine how print and manuscript cultures enabled and influenced the dissemination, absorption and recirculation of popular culture – broadly defined – with eighteenth century audiences of different ages and conditions, reflecting popular interpretations, playing to popular taste and addressing every conceivable subject.
