1 4 y separately published work icon A World of Fiction : Digital Collections and the Future of Literary History Katherine Bode , Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press , 2018 14344551 2018 single work criticism

'During the 19th century, throughout the Anglophone world, most fiction was first published in periodicals. In Australia, newspapers were not only the main source of periodical fiction, but the main source of fiction in general. Because of their importance as fiction publishers, and because they provided Australian readers with access to stories from around the world—from Britain, America and Australia, as well as Austria, Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, and beyond—Australian newspapers represent an important record of the transnational circulation and reception of fiction in this period.

Investigating almost 10,000 works of fiction in the world’s largest open-access collection of mass-digitized historical newspapers (the National Library of Australia’s Trove database), A World of Fiction reconceptualizes how fiction traveled globally, and was received and understood locally, in the 19th century. Katherine Bode’s innovative approach to the new digital collections that are transforming research in the humanities is a model of how digital tools can transform how we understand digital collections and interpret literatures in the past.'

1 y separately published work icon Facing It : AIDS Diaries and the Death of the Author Ross Chambers , Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press , 1998 Z1413492 1998 selected work criticism Facing It examines the genre of the AIDS diary, not in classificatory terms but pragmatically, as the site of a social interaction. In this case, the interaction is between authors, whose subject is their own dying and death, and readers, for whom the act of reading becomes a form of mourning. Writing and reading are separated but also joined by the unthinkable, unsayable, unreadable event of death. That is, between them they enact a scenario of survival. Through a detailed study of three AIDS diaries, originating in France, the United States, and Australia, Ross Chambers demonstrates that issues concerning the politics of AIDS writing and the ethics of reading are linked by a common concern with the problematics of survivorhood. Finally, Facing It takes on the issue of its own relevance, asking what literary criticism can do in an epidemic. (From Libraries Australia record.)

1 y separately published work icon The Journal of Electronic Publishing JEP 1995 Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press , 1995- Z1508770 1995 periodical (1 issues)

'The Journal of Electronic Publishing (JEP) is a forum for research and discussion about contemporary publishing practices, and the impact of those practices upon users. Our contributors and readers are publishers, scholars, librarians, journalists,students, technologists, attorneys, retailers, and others with an interest in the methods and means of contemporary publishing. At its inception in January 1995, JEP carved out an important niche by recognizing that print communication was in the throes of significant change, and that digital communication would become an important--and in some cases predominant--means for transmitting published information.

'JEP aspires to document the changes in publishing, and in some cases to stimulate and shape the direction of those changes. The articles present innovative ideas, best practices, and leading-edge thinking about all aspects of publishing, authorship, and readership. The editor and publisher are committed to presenting wide-ranging and diverse viewpoints on contemporary publishing practices, and to encouraging dialogue and understanding between key decision-makers in publishing and those who are affected by the decisions being made.'
