Secretaries are the hidden technicians of much literary (and
non-literary) writing; they also figure startlingly often as
characters in modern literature, film, and even literary criticism.
Literary Secretaries/Secretarial Culture brings together
secretaries' role in the production (and, more surprisingly,
consumption) of modern culture with interpretations of their
function in literature and film from Chaucer to Heidegger, by way
of Dickens, Dracula, and Erle Stanley Gardner. These essays probe
the relation of office practice to literary theory, asking what
changes when literary texts represent, address, or acknowledge the
human copyist or the mechanical writing machine. Topics range from
copyright law to voice recognition software, from New Women to
haunted typewriters and from the history of technology to the
future of information management. Together, the essays will provide
literary critics with a new angle on current debates about gender,
labour, and the material text, as well as a window into the
prehistory of our information age.
