The Atlas of the Rhode Island Book Trade in the Eighteenth Century. Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Feb Loading... BESbewy. Mapping Books: Expanding the Republic of Letters: India and the Circulation of Ideas in the Late Eighteenth Century. Today I'm presenting at the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading & Publishing (SHARP) annual conference which is being held here at Penn. Rather than giving a traditional conference paper I will be participating in the "digital project showcase" which features a number of really fantastic digital book history projects.
I thought it would be helpful to post here some of what I will be showing today at the conference. My project was inspired in a way by one of the most successful visualization projects of the last few years, Stanford’s Mapping the Republic of Letters project (ROL). The project uses data about thousands of seventeenth and eighteenth century letters to provide a powerful visual representation of how intellectual and correspondence networks functioned over the long eighteenth century. Brightly as nodes of discourse and communication: So what were the results: First is the need to look beyond print to see networks of circulation.
