Personal Statement About Topic
Writing about Publishing
My interest in publishing history began as a question: how was a book actually produced? At the time I started to research Marius Barbeau, scholarly work on anthropology and folklore made use of post-structural theory that focused on the instability of the text as a feature of its linguistic structure. My interest pushed me in different directions: what factors affected the way in which a text emerged in its final form.
