It examines how the use of and attitude toward the book form have changed in light of the digital transformation of American media culture. Situated at the crossroads of American studies, literary studies, book studies, and media studies, these essays show that a sustained focus on the medial and material formats of literary communication significantly expands our accustomed ways of doing cultural studies. Addressing the changing roles of authors, publishers, and readers while covering multiple bookish formats such as artists? books, bestselling novels, experimental fiction, and zines, this interdisciplinary volume introduces readers to current transatlantic conversations on the history and future of the printed book. 410 0$aNew Directions in Book History,$x2634-6117 606 $aBooks$xHistory 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aHistory of the Book$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/814000 606 $aContemporary Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000 606 $aNorth American Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/834000 607 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 615 0$aBooks$xHistory. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 14$aHistory of the Book. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 676 $a801.95 702 $aSchaefer$b Heike$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aStarre$b Alexander$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483563203321 996 $aThe Printed Book in Contemporary American Culture$92451939 997 $aUNINA
