The Visible Text offers a brand new vision of both literary history and the history of the book. Written accessibly, and with a minimum of specialist terminology or jargon, the book should be useful to those interested in literature, books, and the history of ideas, from undergraduates to professional scholars. Covering every century of English literature, from Anglo-Saxon works like Beowulf to present day comics and graphic novels, The Visible Text gives a new-and often surprising-view of the whole scene of Anglophone literature. Filled with concrete examples of both books and texts, the story told in this book will be of interest to readers in the fields of literature, book history, literary theory, media studies, and visual culture.
