Books have always been more than pages with words bound within covers. Well combine literary and book studies to consider the history of print and printed material and the various relationships among literary works, legal rights to intellectual/creative property, and the technologies of creation, production, circulation and reading. Literary work, mainly 19th century, may include Hard Times, Leaves of Grass, poetry by Dickinson, The Conjure Woman, 20th-21st century print and electronic books/narratives. American, Diversity, 1700-1900.
