In Bibliography and the Sociology of Texts, D. F. McKenzie shows
how the material form of texts crucially determines their meanings.
He unifies the principal interests of both critical theory and
textual scholarship to demonstrate that, as all works of lasting
value are reproduced, re-edited and re-read, they take on different
forms and meanings. By witnessing the new needs of their new
readers these new forms constitute vital evidence for any history
of reading. McKenzie shows this is true of all forms of recorded
information, including sound, graphics, films, representations of
landscape and the new electronic media. The bibliographical skills
first developed for manuscripts and books can, he shows, be applied
to a wide range of cultural documents. This book, which
incorporates McKenzie's classic work on orality and literacy in
early New Zealand, offers a unifying concept of texts that seeks to
acknowledge their variety and the complexity of their
relationships.
