This session of the forum introduces participants to the Phoenix Public Library's copy of Holinshed's "Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland" — a copy once owned by John Milton!Visiting scholars Claire Bourne and Aaron Pratt discuss the various types of evidence we can get from rare books and provide an opportunity for people to get up close with rare books. ASU Department of English faculty Brandi Adams and Jonathan Hope facilitate.
Scholars, students and those with interest in the history of the book are invited to attend in room 196 of ASU's Ross-Blakley Hall on the Tempe campus. Public events in the fall 2024 series include a lecture and this informal research discussion.
