LUSTRE seeks to better understand how AI can help improve the preservation, access to and usability of government archives produced in digital form. </p><p>Much public good could be derived from the analysis of government records, particularly records in digital form. Yet, accessing these data is a complex challenge that requires collaboration across multiple fields and professional sectors to overcome issues including confidentiality, privacy, national security, copyright, technological constraints, and the existence of a multiplicity of different structures, systems and applications. </p><p>The input of computer scientists who specialise in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is essential to tackling this challenge. Indeed, AI can be used to identify sensitive materials in a mass of born-digital records to make non-sensitive materials accessible. AI can also serve to search vast amounts of data when keyword searches would not be effective. New technologies have the potential to unlock data and to support its management over time.</p><p>The overall aim of the LUSTRE project is to connect policy makers with Computer Scientists, Digital Humanists and professionals in the GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums).</p><p>The project team is collaborating with professionals from the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/central-digital-and-data-office" target="_blank">Cabinet Office’s Central Digital and Data Office</a> (CDDO) to better understand the potential impact of AI on contemporary public records, the archivists preserving and managing them, and the researchers accessing them.</p><p>In addition to the Cabinet Office, we are working closely with the following project partners: <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/" target="_blank">The National Archives</a> (TNA); <a href="https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/campaigns/public-record-office-northern-ireland-proni" target="_blank">Public Records Office of Northern Ireland</a> (PRONI); <a href="https://www.cilip.org.uk/" target="_blank">Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals</a> (CILIP); <a href="https://www.archives.org.uk/" target="_blank">Archives and Records Association</a> (ARA); <a href="https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/" target="_blank">Science Museum Group</a> (SMG); and <a href="https://svgc.co.uk/" target="_blank">SVGC</a>, an industry partner that has already established other relationships with government departments.</p><p>The LUSTRE project aims to deliver the following outputs:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Four lunchtime talks</li><li>Four face-to-face workshops</li><li>Online survey and semi-structured interviews to identify key obstacles and ways forward to unlock born-digital records</li><li>Open-Access report and journal special issue to help government professionals manage their born-digital archives, transfer them to archival repositories, and make them accessible to users</li><li>A cross-sector network on born-digital archives, connecting government professionals with academics and GLAM professionals.</li></ul><p></p><p>For more information and to join the mailing list, visit the <a href="https://lustre-network.net/" target="_blank">LUSTRE website</a>.</p><p>Related projects:</p><p> <a href="https://www.aeolian-network.net/" target="_blank">AEOLIAN</a> (Artificial Intelligence for Cultural Organisations)</p><p> <a href="https://www.aura-network.net/" target="_blank">AURA</a> (Archives in the UK/Republic of Ireland & AI) Network</p><p> <a href="https://eycon.hypotheses.org/" target="_blank">EyCon</a> (Visual AI and Early Conflict Photography) </p>Lise Jaillanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11182032458583680655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275139998987613255.post-62996112356643519232022-03-21T16:31:00.004+00:002022-03-21T16:31:47.805+00:00MLA 2023 in San Francisco<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiYfxHXyqaxh2xbziW2vyHMz-dTZ4OnWxeTGs5xgJgjuiwuKYkOz5cN8CQRKFvSriXcscS2gvk-9aesTOdNJ9iTIAzcC_WFZbto0gZXP9ik51aanZpI2F1x6FCrhHl9CXrYXwlwX0WNPEVg-TvQDEsWHMEfIFKORwfZtmDAUOcjFyg13vH5H8EqDxANVA=s450" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="450" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiYfxHXyqaxh2xbziW2vyHMz-dTZ4OnWxeTGs5xgJgjuiwuKYkOz5cN8CQRKFvSriXcscS2gvk-9aesTOdNJ9iTIAzcC_WFZbto0gZXP9ik51aanZpI2F1x6FCrhHl9CXrYXwlwX0WNPEVg-TvQDEsWHMEfIFKORwfZtmDAUOcjFyg13vH5H8EqDxANVA=w640-h426" width="640" /></a></div> <p></p><p>The next MLA (Modern Language Association) Annual Convention will be
held from 5 to 8 January 2023 in San Francisco. The presidential theme
is Working Conditions.<br /><br />As always, SHARP (the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing) will organise a guaranteed session. We are inviting papers on the theme "Women and Book History." <br /><br />Nearly
a quarter of a century ago, Leslie Howsam encouraged scholars to "make
use of the powerful theory and flexible methodology of feminist analysis
when we think about and investigate the history of books" (SHARP News,
Vol. 7, number 4, Autumn 1998). <br /><br />This short article on "women and
book history" still resonates today. We invite papers on (but not
limited to): the theory and methodology of feminist book history; the
study of women in the book trade and women book collectors; the analysis
of women readers. All periods and geographical areas. <br /><br /><b>Please send your abstract (250 words) and CV (2 pages) by Wednesday 30 March 2022 to <a href="mailto:l.jaillant@lboro.ac.uk" target="_blank">l.jaillant@lboro.ac.uk</a></b></p>Lise Jaillanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11182032458583680655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275139998987613255.post-31842379355653304942022-03-19T15:15:00.005+00:002022-03-19T15:23:43.852+00:00EyCon (Early Conflict Photography and Visual AI)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhNdr2hAAkkH92GDj_FTwv78SEEcoMlmh-CrsZin9Nd-icDdeihuCyKtgEzmLY363LerHRqqqHwinHi7nzxurZyBIRvHWDXVfrPi1RToToOV1uKm0NAEybFbPvEIBRw5T6nHGMuDsbGk0SzKPQXGojyEPppEvRYbRmJWYtcAim-F0BnlmrbW9k4lE_kgA=s2958" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1003" data-original-width="2958" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhNdr2hAAkkH92GDj_FTwv78SEEcoMlmh-CrsZin9Nd-icDdeihuCyKtgEzmLY363LerHRqqqHwinHi7nzxurZyBIRvHWDXVfrPi1RToToOV1uKm0NAEybFbPvEIBRw5T6nHGMuDsbGk0SzKPQXGojyEPppEvRYbRmJWYtcAim-F0BnlmrbW9k4lE_kgA=w640-h218" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am thrilled to be the Principal Investigator (UK) for the Early Conflict Photography 1890-1918 and Visual AI (<a href="https://eycon.hypotheses.org" target="_blank">EyCon</a>) project. EyCon aims at harnessing Artificial Intelligence (AI) reliant tools to analyse a large corpus of photographs, and the project’s database will include thousands of historical photographs documenting armed violence. EyCon is co-funded by AHRC/Labex Passés dans le Présent joint grant (more about the programme <a href="https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/work-with-french-researchers-on-interdisciplinary-ahrc-projects/" target="_blank">here</a>) and a Université de Paris Idex “chaire environnée”.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Recent digitisation efforts of historical photographs by archival institutions have often been done in silo. This is an issue for researchers and archivists, but it also raises the question of public uses of history when it comes to contemporary perspectives on colonial/imperial warfare. Disconnected visual repositories reinforce deeply entrenched notions of national exceptionalism in France, Britain and in other states with a history of international interventionism and expansionism. Drawing on advanced technologies such as AI, EyCon aims at connecting, analysing and commenting on these divided repositories to increase the discoverability and usability of overlooked and scattered material on colonial, imperial and international armed conflicts up to 1918. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I will be working with Dr Julien Schuh, Prof. Daniel Foliard, and other colleagues (including a UK postdoc). The project is partnering with a wide <a href="https://eycon.hypotheses.org/partner-institutions-partenaires" target="_blank">network</a> of archival institutions in France and in the UK, and will bring together Humanities scholars, technical experts, archivists and other stakeholders to produce innovative research at the juncture of computer science, archival studies and history. It will also make digitised records more accessible to a wide range of users. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">EyCon’s primary objective is to assess the usefulness of computation to visualise, navigate and analyse large visual corpora. The project aims at harnessing and questioning computation as well as testing new approaches to visualisation when it is applied to historical investigation. In doing so, it addresses the ethical and epistemological issues raised by the application of AI tools to controversial pasts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">EyCon has two specific objectives:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><b>The aggregation of data into a thematic collection on early conflict photography. </b>A wide array of photographic material from disconnected repositories will be aggregated into a thematic collection on early conflict photography (1890-1918) with a focus on non-European theatres of war.

Our Project Partners include the British Library; the National Library of Scotland; the National Library of Ireland; and the Irish Traditional Music Archive.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> The AURA network is designed to unlock cultural assets that are preserved in digital archives closed to the public or difficult to access. The digital revolution has had a huge impact on archival collections: emails have largely replaced letters, government reports are now written in digital format. Yet, the vast majority of these born-digital records are inaccessible due to privacy, copyright or technical issues. By bringing together Digital Humanists, Computer Scientists and stakeholders (including policy makers), the network will design solutions to the problem of inaccessible records in digital archives.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The network focuses on three major themes, explored in each of the three workshops: "Open Data versus Privacy" (Workshop 1); "AI and Archives: Current Challenges and Prospects of Born-digital archives" (Workshop 2); "AI and Archives: What comes next?" (Workshop 3).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">More information can be found on the <a href="https://www.aura-network.net/" target="_blank">AURA website</a>. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Lise Jaillanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11182032458583680655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275139998987613255.post-58749904118499910132020-02-01T19:01:00.001+00:002020-02-03T09:53:33.619+00:00MLA 2021 in Toronto<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b><br /></b>
<b>Senate House Library holds little-known materials on modernist writers such as Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, Nancy Cunard and Djuna Barnes.</b> Their experimental texts were published by small presses and little magazines, but also attracted the attention of larger commercial book publishers. To gain greater control over the publication process, Woolf, Stein, Cunard and others created their own presses and engaged closely with the physical materiality of books. To mark the release of the edited collection <i><a href="https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-publishing-modernist-fiction-and-poetry.html" target="_blank">Publishing Modernist Fiction and Poetry</a></i> (Edinburgh University Press, 2019), this exhibition focuses on these fascinating modernist publishers that opened new markets for fiction and poetry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From a mass of little-seen materials in Senate House Special Collections, Leila Kassir and Lise Jaillant have selected books, periodicals, correspondence and ephemera relating to three themes: (1) Women and Publishing; (2) Race and Modernism; (3) Middlebrow and Celebrity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Among the items on display are letters by Virginia and Leonard Woolf, rare editions published by Nancy Cunard’s Hours Press, neglected periodicals and publicity materials. Short videos by experts of modernism contextualise the exhibition and the material context in which the new literature first appeared.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The exhibition will be on display from 17th to 28th June 2019 at Senate House University of London, Malet St, London WC1E 7HU (Room 101, 1st Floor).</div>

<b>I have been awarded a major <a href="https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=AH%2FR00773X%2F1" target="_blank">AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council) Leadership Fellowship</a> to work on the poetry publisher Carcanet Press. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>***See the project blog <a href="http://www.poetrysurvival.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> for news and updates***</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A central objective of the project is to make Carcanet's archive more accessible - focusing particularly on the born-digital part of the collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is a short description:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Survival of the Weakest: Preserving and Analysing Born-Digital Records to Understand How Small Poetry Publishers Survive in the Global Marketplace</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite its importance in the literary landscape, Carcanet Press has attracted little scholarly attention - in part because the largest part of its archive is closed to researchers. This archive, which comprises born-digital as well as analogue records, is held at the John Rylands Library (Manchester). The project will preserve and make accessible internationally-significant archival materials held in the uncatalogued part of the paper collection and in the digital collection (currently closed). The opening of rich archival materials will lead to the production of new knowledge on small poetry publishers and on the overall issue of born-digital records.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Coinciding with the fiftieth anniversary of Carcanet, the project will offer unique insight into a publishing house central to the contemporary literary landscape. </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">It will also provide a model to preserve and make born-digital records more accessible to researchers, in order to produce new knowledge. While we still have letters, manuscripts and other physical documents from the past centuries, we are in danger of losing digital documents created in the last decade. By fostering close collaborations between scholars and archivists, the project seeks to answer one of the most pressing challenges in the humanities and social sciences: the transition from print to digital.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This AHRC project builds on my British Academy Rising Star Engagement Award, “<a href="http://www.afterthedigitalrevolution.com/" target="_blank">After the Digital Revolution</a>: Bringing together archivists and scholars to preserve born-digital records and produce new knowledge.”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-weight: bold;">The Cambridge Analytica scandal has led to a privacy backlash and to calls for tighter regulation of Facebook and other Internet Giants.</b>
Social and computer scientists fear that legitimate researchers could be collateral damage. Yet, there has been no discussion on the plight of
Humanities researchers confronted to “dark archives.” With the forthcoming introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (May 2018), it may be even more complicated to access data in the future.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This DH@Lboro workshop will bring together academics, archivists and open data advocates to discuss the issues of privacy and access to data. We will focus primarily (but not exclusively) on cultural data and the case of the Humanities. The workshop will take place on <u>21 June 2018</u> at the School of Advanced Study in London.<br />

<b>I have been awarded a British Academy Rising Star Engagement Award (£15,000) </b>for my project “<a href="http://www.afterthedigitalrevolution.com/" target="_blank">After the Digital Revolution</a>: Bringing together archivists and scholars to preserve born-digital records and produce new knowledge.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The project will run for one year, from 31 March 2017.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>Abstract</u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The digital revolution has profoundly affected the ways we encounter archival documents. Yet, archivists and literary scholars rarely "sit at the same table," and this lack of dialogue has an impact on issues of access, particularly in the case of born-digital materials. We will run two workshops to find solutions to this overall problem of access to emails and other born-digital records in literary and publishers’ archives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This will be achieved through three specific objectives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">First, we will look at the preservation of collections through data recovery (including the recovery of emails). </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Second, we will discuss new ways to make collections findable and usable. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Third, we will share methods such as data visualisation and text mining to produce new knowledge. </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The project will bring together both established and emerging scholars and archivists. Reaching beyond an academic audience, the two workshops will not only raise public awareness of the need to preserve neglected and endangered archives, but also facilitate evidence-based policy making to address this issue.</div>

Here is a short description:<br />
<br />
<i>Revolutionizing Academia: Modernism, Pedagogy and the Ivory Tower</i><br />
<br />
The relationship between modernism and pedagogy has long been a central concern of New Modernist Studies. As MSA members, we are well aware of the effect of pedagogy on “modernism” and its canon. At the 2013 conference in Brighton, the seminar led by Peter Howarth also invited us to think of modernism as a kind of pedagogy. The experience of teaching and having works taught profoundly affected the imagination of modernist writers – including, of course, Ezra Pound. This panel will further the discussion by focusing on academia, an institution that many modernists regarded as hopelessly traditional and isolated from real life. “By the time their formal educations were complete, Pound and Eliot dreaded the deadening lives academia seemed to hold out of them” – as Gail McDonald put it in her pioneering monograph Learning to be Modern. “Making it new” seemed impossible in the Ivory Tower, and yet, modernists continued to be fascinated by the university system.<br />
<br />
<b>Responding to the theme of the 2015 conference – “Modernism and Revolution” – this panel will address modernist writers’ attempts to change pedagogy from outside academia as well as the invention of modernist studies within academia and its impact on younger writers.</b>Lise Jaillanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11182032458583680655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275139998987613255.post-78843397974961280252015-04-09T12:11:00.000+01:002019-09-18T15:12:58.112+01:00Octave Uzanne, between Reaction and Modernism<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am happy to announce that my <b>exhibition on Octave Uzanne</b> will be shown at Senate House, London to accompany the conference <a href="http://www.ies.sas.ac.uk/ies-conferences/ageofmodernism" target="_blank">Aestheticism and Decadence in the Age of Modernism: 1895 to 1945</a> (Friday 17 and Saturday 18 April 2015).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Octave Uzanne was a <b>French bibliophile, writer and publisher</b> whose work shows that
Aestheticism and Decadence were anchored in the modern age.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Born in 1851, Uzanne abandoned his studies in law when he came into an heritage at the age of 21. He became friends with a group of bibliophiles, who encouraged his <b>interest in eighteenth-century libertine works by neglected writers</b>. As Willa Silverman puts it, "Uzanne's devotion to the France of Louis XIV and Louis XV would also lead him forward, as a proponent of the neo-Rococo aesthetic and decorative arts that at the turn of the century inspired Art Nouveau." This mix of modernism and anachronism was shared by the Goncourt brothers, whom Uzanne particularly admired.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Uzanne was also interested in applying <b>new, industrial techniques to manufacture luxury books</b>. His 1879 book <i>Le Bric-à-brac de l'amour</i> (featured in the exhibition) thus employed the new technique of gillotage, whereby an image is transferred to a zinc plate.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Uzanne did not limit himself to the re-edition of older works. His interest in the modern book led him to create <b>three reviews</b>: <i>Le Livre: bibliographie moderne</i> (1880-9), <i>Le Livre moderne: revue du monde littéraire et des bibliophiles contemporains</i> (1890-1), and <i>L'Art et de l'idée: revue contemporaine du dilettantisme littéraire et de la curiosité</i> (1892-3).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The quality of Uzanne's books was noted in the international press. </b>Reviewing <i>L'Ombrelle, le gant, et le manchon</i> (featured in this exhibition), the London <i>Times</i> declared: "The illustrations - all admirable specimens of miniature drawing, etching, engraving, and tinting - are too good to have full justice done them in words. They should be seen." A review in the <i>New York Times</i> described <i>La Femme à Paris</i> (1894) as “a highly artistic achievement in a typographical sense, and impressively <b>a book of the present time, of this very moment.</b>”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For more information on Octave Uzanne, visit the exhibition and read Willa Z. Silverman's excellent book, <i><a href="https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=mmu8a8Lf5PQC&lpg=PR3&ots=LG2EWzKAb2&dq=Silverman%20The%20New%20Bibliopolis%20toronto&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false" target="_blank">The New Bibliopolis: French Book Collectors and the Culture of Print, 1880-1914</a></i>. The website <a href="http://www.octaveuzanne.com/">www.octaveuzanne.com</a> is also a good resource.<br />
<br />
<i>The display is of books held in the <a href="http://senatehouselibrary.ac.uk/our-collections/special-collections/printed-special-collections/foskett/" target="_blank">Foskett Uzanne Collection</a> at Senate House Library, University of London.

<b>This Autumn</b>, I am starting a new position at the University of East Anglia in Norwich. It is a very good fit for my project <i>Professing Creative Writing: A History of Writers and Scholars in Anglophone Universities</i>. I am very keen to immerse myself in the life of the prestigious Creative Writing programme!<br />
<br />
I see <i>Professing Creative Writing</i> as a logical extension of my work on twentieth-century publishing houses. My focus has always been on literary institutions, and all my research has been based on archival work. For the new project, I plan to explore under-studied archives at the University of Iowa, Indiana University and many others. I also want to conduct oral history interviews with key figures associated with creative writing programmes.<br />
<br />
I continue to be keenly interested in publishing houses, particularly those that made modernist literature available to a wide audience:<br />
<br />
(1) My monograph on the Modern Library series is going to be published in the coming months by <a href="http://www.pickeringchatto.com/titles/1780-9781848934931-modernism-middlebrow-and-the-literary-canon" target="_blank">Pickering & Chatto</a>.<br />
<br />
(2) I am also working on my project <i>Cheap Modernism: European Publisher's Series and the Avant Garde</i>. I have already written three chapters (on T. S. Eliot’s and Virginia Woolf’s involvement with the Oxford World’s Classics, on Wyndham Lewis’s <i>Tarr</i> in the Phoenix Library series, and on James Joyce’s and D. H. Lawrence’s association with the Travellers’ Library and the New Adelphi Library).<br />
<br />
The first essay will be published as a book chapter in Nicola Wilson’s edited collection, <i>The Book World: Selling and Distributing Literature, 1900-1940</i>. The second essay has been awarded the 2014 Wyndham Lewis Memorial Trust, and will be published in the <i>Journal of Wyndham Lewis Studies</i>.Lise Jaillanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11182032458583680655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275139998987613255.post-52125590870703572022014-05-21T18:48:00.001+01:002019-09-18T15:18:43.631+01:00Harry Ransom Center<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>This Summer</b>, I am going to Austin, Texas to do archival work at the <a href="http://www.hrc.utexas.edu/" target="_blank">Harry Ransom Center</a>. I have been awarded a two-month fellowship, jointly supported by the Alfred A. and Blanche W. Knopf Fellowship
and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If everything goes well, I will come back with lots of interesting materials on Albatross and Tauchnitz for my new monograph <i>Cheap Modernism: European Publisher's Series and the Avant-Garde</i>.</span><br />
