Abstract

What does reading look like today? What has it looked like in the past and what can it look like in the future? How does our understanding of what reading is inform the development of new literary forms and practices? Organized as part of the AHRC funded Ambient Literature research project and celebrating the launch of the Making Books: Creativity, Print Culture, and the Digital research center, this public seminar will discuss the nature of reading and how it fits into the creation of new forms of literature. This seminar will feature Alice Bell, Edmund King, and Maggie Gee in conversation around the idea of reading, its past, present, and future.
