Bookshelves in the Age of the COVID-19 Pandemic provides the first
detailed scholarly investigation of the cultural phenomenon of
bookshelves (and the social practices around them) since the start
of the pandemic in March 2020. With a foreword by Lydia Pyne,
author of Bookshelf (2016), the volume brings together 17 scholars
from 6 countries (Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, the
UK, and the USA) with expertise in literary studies, book history,
publishing, visual arts, and pedagogy to critically examine the
role of bookshelves during the current pandemic. This volume
interrogates the complex relationship between the physical book and
its digital manifestation via online platforms, a relationship
brought to widespread public and scholarly attention by the global
shift to working from home and the rise of online pedagogy. It also
goes beyond the (digital) bookshelf to consider bookselling, book
accessibility, and pandemic reading habits.
