Marginal Notes: Social Reading and the Literal Margins offers an
account of literary marginalia based on original research from a
range of unique archival sources, from mid-16th-century France to
early 20th-century Tasmania. Chapters examine marginal commentary
from 17th-century China, 18th-century Britain, and 19th-century
America, investigating the reputations, as reflected by attentive
readers, of He Zhou, Pierre Bayle, Samuel Johnson, Thomas Warton,
and Sir Walter Scott. The marginal writers include Jacques Gohory,
Mary Astell, Hester Thrale, Herman Melville, the young daughters of
the Broome family in Gloucestershire, and the patrons of the
library of the Huon Mechanics' Institute, Tasmania. Though
marginalia is often proscribed and frequently hidden or overlooked,
the collection reveals the enduring power of marginalia, concluding
with studies of the ethics of annotation and the resurrected life
of marginalia in digital environments.
