99th George Parker Winship Lecture, The Reader's Eye: Between Annotation
and Illustration
William Sherman, University of York (UK)
Edison & Newman Rms, Houghton Library, Harvard University Harvard Yard,
Cambridge, MA
Recent scholarship in the lively field of marginalia has treated readers'
marks almost exclusively as a verbal phenomenon--as words, that is, next to
other words. But in doing so we have lost sight of sight itself, and I have
now begun to recover the ways in which readers responded with images as well
as words. Between medieval illumination and modern illustration, there are
many traces of reading as a visual mode, signs that we have been slow to see
and study and for which we are poorly served by both methodology and
terminology. This illustrated lecture will consider the range of images
produced by readers between 1450 and 1750, and will suggest that reading was
closely bound up with seeing--and even drawing--across the
Medieval/Renaissance divide.
