This book addresses the gap between print and digital scholarly
approaches by combining both praxis and theory in a case study of a
new international collaborative digital project, the Modernist
Archives Publishing Project (MAPP). MAPP is an international
collaborative digital project, funded by the Social Sciences and
Humanities Research Council of Canada, that uses digital tools to
showcase archival traces of twentieth-century publishing. The
twenty-first century has witnessed, and is living through, some of
the most dynamic changes ever experienced in the publishing
industry, arguably altering our very understanding of what it means
to read a book. This book brings to both general readers and
scholarly researchers a new way of accessing, and thereby
assessing, the historical meanings of change within the
twentieth-century publication industry by building a resource which
organises, interacts with, and uses historical information about
book culture to narrate the continuities and discontinuities in
reading and publishing over the last century.

This multi-authored volume, newly available in paperback, focuses
on Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press (1917-1941). Scholars
from the UK and the US use previously unpublished archival
materials and new methodological frameworks to explore the
relationships forged by the Woolfs via the Press and to gauge the
impact of their editorial choices on writing and culture. Combining
literary criticism, book history, biography and sociology, the
chapters weave together the stories of the lesser known authors,
artists and press workers with the canonical names linked to the
press following a 'rich, dialogic' forum or network.The book brings
together a wide range of thematic material in three sections -
'Class and Culture', 'Global Bloomsbury' and 'Marketing Other
Modernisms'. Topics addressed in the book include imperialism, the
middlebrow, religion, translation, the marketplace and poetry, with
case studies on West Indian writer C.L.R. James, Welsh poet Huw
Menai, child poet Joan Easdale and American artist E. McKnight
Kauffer. This original collection will contribute to three vibrant
sub-fields now remaking twentieth-century scholarship: print
culture, modernist studies, and Woolf studies.
