Reading Writing Interfaces: From the Digital to the Bookbound - Electronic Mediations

In Reading Writing Interfaces, Lori Emerson examines how interfaces--from today's multitouch devices to yesterday's desktops, from typewriters to Emily Dickinson's self-bound fascicle volumes--mediate between writer and text as well as between writer and reader. Following the threads of experimental writing from the present into the past, she shows how writers have long tested and transgressed technological boundaries.
