The organizers of the Victorian Body Conference are pleased to announce Vanessa Warne (University of Manitoba) will be presenting a hands-on workshop on “Raised-Print and the Reading Body” on Friday April 10 at 4:30. The workshop will feature a collection of rare and fragile raised-print books produced in the nineteenth century. These books were made for and by readers who relied on touch instead of sight for their access to print. Please join Vanessa to examine these books and to discuss how they alter our understanding of the relationship between the body and the book in the Victorian period.
