About this Event

Boswell Book Company presents an evening with Alex Beringer, author of Lost Literacies: Experiments in the Nineteenth-Century US Comic Strip.

from Boswell. Signed copies and personalization available on pre-orders. Please note that signed copies will not be shipped until after the event.

Lost Literacies is the first full-length study of US comic strips from the period prior to the rise of Sunday newspaper comics. Lost Literacies introduces readers to an ambitious group of artists and editors who were intent on experimenting with the storytelling possibilities of the sequential strip.

“Beringer’s repositioning of the history of comics gives a more nuanced account of the way the comics form developed in America than anything currently available. Lost Literacies is a valuable reference for the growing number of scholars studying the comic strips of later periods.” —Ian Gordon, author of Superman: The Persistence of an American Icon

Alex Beringer is Professor of English at the University of Montevallo. He has held fellowships with the University of Cambridge and the American Antiquarian Society. His research concerns nineteenth-century American visual culture, literature, and comics
