SUMMARY:Jennifer Larson on "Little Books and Big Ideas in the Handpress Era"
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of Detroit \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs soon as people in the West learned to print\, they made little books. But what types of books were produced in very small formats\, and why? Using examples from her collection\, Jennifer Larson will describe the development of miniature formats and typography\, and explore the literary authors and titles most often chosen for distribution in small formats from the incunabular period through the early 19th century. The presentation will conclude with a look at the history of traveling libraries in the Handpress Era. This is a free event\, open to non-members as well as members of the Book Club of Detroit. \nAbout our speaker: Dr. Larson is Professor of Classics at Kent State University. She earned her PhD in Classics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The author of five books on ancient Greek religion and culture\, as well as many scholarly articles\, Dr. Larson is a lifelong antiquarian-book collector who has served as Treasurer and Chair of the Fellowship of American Bibliophilic Societies. \nThis event is free and open to members of FABS Societies.
